Schedual of working parties;
Heflin, Taylor, Zbin, Abernathy were to meet at the Klavern
at 8AM to pick up materials for the Rally. Heflin to use his
trailer. Taylor and zbin thier trucks.
Cook, Griff in to move Telephone pole from Zbins yard with boom
truck. All members to meet at Rally Grounds to assist with
preparations, not later than 9:00AM.
The group assembled at 9:30AM Saturday, and proceeded in the rain
to clean up the pasture, build a speakers platform, hook up the
power and in general assist, because of the rain it was decided
to provide a tent to help keep materials dry. Newell, Penny and
Joe Burd went to pick up the tent at Burds shop in Pompano.
Meanwhile Cook and Phelps were constructing the Cross. Zbin was
escorting the Imperial Officers with Sam McBroom.
The morale of the workers was rather low due to a combination
of events.
1. The word was out concerning the Rally in Fahokee.
2. The membership was scared of the poor news a similar
affair would have in Ft. Lauderdale.
3. The Rain continued all day and everyone knew how that would
affect the public.
4. The recent expose' would keep a great number of the public
away; especially the sympathizers of the Klan.
5. A number of members had recently quit the unit and many
members were contemplating doing the same.
6. Many of the key members were not present and this caused
concern.
The tent cr ew returned to the Rally site and proceeded to put
up the tent. V/hile this was in progress the Imperial Car
arrived with the Staff for an inspection tour. The Imperial
Staff had been told that approximately 6,000 would turn out.
It was obvious with the placement of 40 chairs that many people
were not expected.
The work crew finished around 2:00PM and went to thier homes
to clean up for the state meeting to be held at 3:00PM. The
location was to be the Holiday Inn on State Road 84.
HW 11637 Dodd: 59167712 Page 3
cont pg.2,
When the members began to arrive at the Holiday Inn the
embarrasment had just begun. There was no meeting hall.
There had been no arrangements made that were firm. The
talk began, concerning the pressure put on the Klan by the press.
John Paul Rogers ran around looking for Zbin, trying to find out
why there was no room for the meeting. The Meeting started in
Mr. Sextons room at his behest. Mr. Sexton said he liked to have
informal little meetings. There were 22 Klansman present in his
room by 3 :45PM. Finally Zbin arrived and said he had gotten the
management to let the Klan have a reserved meeting room. The room
was a regular bedroom with the beds removed and chairs installed.
There was still not enough room but the meeting did not last long.
' . Mr. Sexton spoke of the Klan growth in. the North. In Michigan,
for example, he said, they have sold more Operation Patriotism
subscriptions than Fla. Also they have had more Racial Strife.
He implied that the Klan could do very well in areas where Racial
problems abounded.
Rev Spears did not speak at the meeting, but Rogers did. He
spoke of Sex education in the schools. A new Klan target.
Mr. Sexton said that the New* article concerning the Klan was
so fnessed up" that it could only help the Klan. "in fact it
was the best thing that could have happened as it helped to
weed out those who would have run in a tight spot anyway," he
said .
Al so Sexton spoke of the possibility of Robert Shelton getting
out early, "don't count on it" he said, "because they will attach
strings, such as not attending rallys, speaking, etc., etc."
Apparantly he feels Mr. Shelton would rather spend the year in
prison as a Martyr.
After the meeting, James Penny was observed in private conversation
with Mr. Sexton and Mr. Spears. The trio was too far away to over-
hear all of thler conversation. It concerned Penny's desire to
help weed out the disenting faction in Unit #6, and the fact
that some of the Old members resented the proper use of ritual.
Mr. Spears and Sexton assured that they would back him 100$ and
that it was his Job to be a Critic, and if he didn't do his job
someone else would report it to the Imperial Office.
The members departed the meeting and went back to the Rally grounds.
Joe Burd, James Penny and Lee Granims were observed having a
few drinks in the Lounge at the Holiday Inn. Thier conversation
centered around guns, they left around 6PM, and proceeded to
the Rally grounds .
At the Rally grounds, meanwhile, the few working members were
trying to get the Cross upright. The Crane (Boom) truck was just
not big enough to do the Job oroperly. The: crew finally got the
Cross upright and in the process caused many cars to stop and
watch the "Boondogle" it was a farce watching at least 15 men
trying to put up a 60 foot Cross, in fact, passerbys got put to
help .
As dark approached, the Rally got underway. Joe Burd rode the
covered horse,. A news man from the Sun-Sentinal came in and
was escorted to Sam McBroom and then one of the Security Guards
went around the grounds with the news-man as he took "Approved"
Pictures. As other News media nersonnel arrived they too were

• A UKA RALLY REPORT A
' # w ■ '
It was decided to have R.L. Wright, the nighthawk, light the
Cross as a matter of accepetd ritual.
Unit #12 from Orlando sent approximately 7 members including
3 of their Security Guards to help with the crowd control.
Arcy Anderson spoke first, as the MC, and Introduced Dan.Zbin
after an opening prayer. Zbin did not say much. He did say
that he thanked the Ft. Lauderdale News for thler slanted opinion
that would be exposed this evening. Rogers said a few words on Sex.
Rev. Spears Gave a Racial ladened Speach that lasted for an hour.
During this time he told a variety of Jokes and gave slanted
Views on the UN, The Federal Govt., Civil Rights, And the Klan.
The wind was quite strong and the possibility of Rain existed all
the while. Rqv Spears was loud but the wind caused distortion to
the speech and the crowd began to get restless, and some actually
left.
Finally Arcy Anderson gave the word to Mr. Spears to cease, and
ask for donations. The crowd responded by donating §50.21 in the
Hoods the robed Klansman bassed around. (Same thing as passing the hat)
The Cross Burning., Ceremony finally began at 9:40 PM. The news
Media took a lot of snapshots in the fire light from the Burning
Cross .
There were a total of 14 robed Klansman in the Ceremony, and
that included the Klansman from Orlando .
After the Cross burned for approximately 10 minutes, the Crowd
began to disperse.
The Crowd was estimated to be approximately 1200 Persons counting
men women and children ana teenagers. There were dozens of
teenagers that were outside the Rallygrounds as Curiosity seekers,
there were also scores of Cars parked up and down the road way
whose occupants never left. There were Hundreds of persons that
never came into the rally grounds for one reason or another,
even though Robed Klansman went among them to ask them into the
Rally grounds. Of the number of "Hardcore" Klan supporters there
were around 250 piersons, including women, Robed and Un-Robed
Klansman. There v/ere many Klansman present not Robed, perhaps
as many as 30 or 40.
Although the crowd turnout wasent anything like the 5-6 thousand
expected, the Klan Management decided that the Weather, Adverse
News of recent, and members quiting caused the poor turnout.
The next Rally is expected to have a better turnout, and the
Klan membership expects to gain more for thier §600.00 spent
next time in terms of increased dues paying membership.
Most of the Klan membership fears the exposure type of coverage
given by the Ft. Lauderdale News.

April 28, 1969
The Regular meeting of Unit #6 ooened at 8:35 PM with the
admission to the Klavern of a new member, Earl Cook, Brother
of Jack Cook.
The following Attended the Meeting.
Arcy Anderson Sam McBroom Olin Abernathy
James Penny R.L. Wright Chip Frey
Dan 3b in Lonnie Smith Carl Carlstedt
Herman Heflin Bill Newell James DeMars
William Penny Jess Taylor Jack Cook
Bill Phelps Earl Cook Gus Johnson
Joe Burd Mr. Comstock
Present at the Klavern before the meeting was Robert Angove
who sooke of the need to find the Source of the leak within
Unit #6. He further stated the need for the use of Lie Detector
tests and Sodium Pentathol . He also told of his visit with
Jed Drews of the Ft. Lauderdale News; Drews told him, he said,
that a member of the unit had given him a key to the Klavern and
supplied him with a membership list. He said he did not even
know most of the names on the list but knew the names of several,
on the list. He also stated that Drews said there were no "BUGS"
in the Klavern. Angove left as the meeting was to open.
Sam McBroom told the members the Imperial Board will arrive
with the equipment required to find out if the Klavern was
H Bugged". They would also be able to help in uncovering the
source of the "LEAK".
Olin Abernathy said that Bob Quarterman was dissident and had
quit the Klan, and was calling other members to also have them
leave for thier own good. Arcy told the members not to discuss
any Klan Business with Quarterman.
1W 11637
Arcy asked the officers to explain the various actions taken at
the officers meeting.
Olin told of the defections within the ranks concemlng"one"or
"two" dissident members which would be offset by a projected
increased membership and that is was better to shake out the
shakey members now rather than when it got "rough".
Arcy told of Lee Granlms relating how a friend of Granlms had
found out a week in advance that the News would print a Story
concerning the Klan.
James Penny related the Image suggestion of Sam McBrooms. He
said Sam had come up with the idea to help the image by giving
aid to a Colored Family whose Breadwinner was injured by militant
Negros while trying to get a Job. Arcy mentioned a figure of
$20.00 worth of food to start with. Then he entertained a
motion of a member to help this family with no Klan publicity.
R.L. Wright made the Motion and it was Seconded, On the
Discussion, Dan Zbin spoke favorably , saying he had that day
personally talked to Mr. Gore of the Newspaper. Mr. Gore was,
he said, impressed with the idea that the Klan would help a
colored family. Jack Cook spoke against helping any Nigger,
James Penny said it would cause more damage to the Colored man

a poor white family". Arcy asked once again for any and all

Dan Zbln read three aoplicatlons for membership.
Earl Cook was not comoletely initiated since Olin Abernathy
did not bring the "Oath* as he was not going to carry any Klan
material with him a3 a precautionary measure.
Dan Zbin produced a letter to be sent to the Ft. Lauderdale
News.
Arcy Anderson Read it aloud. The Gist of the letter was to
gain a more favorable image through the news media.
There was discussion whether or not to pay to place the letter
in the paper as an open letter.
The cost, according to Zbln, would be #173*00. It was decided
the best way would be to try to get the letter published by
the naner free and if it did not get published an attempt would
be made to have an ad run.
Arcy Signed the letter as EC.
Olen Abernathy had made a "PICK-UP", he said, of the Klan
printing negatives from Bob Quarterman. He gave them to
James Penny to burn but McBroom had already made' arraingementB
with Zbin to burn the whole can of incriminating material so
it was decided to put the garbage canVof material in the rear
of Zblns truck. full
Anderson stated a few new rules.
1 . No discussion of Klan business by telephone.
2. All members attending meeting to show klan Card to Chip Frey
for the recording of the Members number so that a record of those
attending can be maintained.
3. No discussion of Klan Business outside of the meeting during
break.
4. Any Klan business discussed away from the KLavern will be
in strict Privacy.
Joe Burd announced that a "Brother who Just got 40 years" had left
some un-registered guns with him in case anyone wanted to purchase
any. No mention of type.
Arcy Anderson asked that no further mention of Lie Detector or other
means be mentioned again in the Klavern as steps were in progress
to eliminate the problems. A show of hands was requested by
Carlstedt to support his contention that a majority of the members
desired such a test. All members present raised their hands.
End of Reoort.

Mr. ***
The main point of the meeting centered around the matter of
poor security.
V/ hen Olen Abernathy read the financial report the membership
(those not already in the know) went up in arms at the cost
of §342.60 for the rally insurance and a total cost for the
Rally of §650.00. This was explained by several members, although
the gist of the matter was still Door security. For example
it was thought that if the press had not given the coverage
of the Klan when it did, the Unit might have gotten the Insurance
for nothing.
Bob Angove kept up the agitation and at one point during the
meeting stated that he had the names of four people who were
guilty of being an informer or a loose talker. He questioned
the value of a Rally. He asked if any new members were to come
into the Unit as a result of the Rally. When told yes, he then
asked why thier names had not been read. Dan Zbln replied, for
Security. Angove doubted that any new members would be forthcoming
and asked if the downpayment or initiation monies had been coll-
ected. He was told that approximately 15 new members had paid.
Bill Phelps again told of how the Unit he belonged to in N.C.
had: an Informer in the officer ranks and he would be glad to
assist the EC of Unit ,f6 in weeding one out of the Unit.
Carlstedt spoke of the need for tighter controls; and endorsed
Phelps idea of making every member present a current paid up dues
card and only use the members Card Number in any minutes or other
written documentation. A motion was made and Seconded to en-
force the carrying of Klan Cards. During, the Discussion on the
subject, Penny advised against Enforcement -of ' this motion on the
grounds that It would only harass the membership, and cause those
like himself, to carry the ICLan Cara unnecessarily. He also
stated that if stopped by police of involved in an accident the
Card would do more harm than good. The motion carried by all pres*
sent except Penny, who voted against.
HW 11637
Zbin replied to the critlzlm concerning the new members. He
said that the membership committee was screening all new members
and the Klokan would only be responsible to the EC not the floor.
The membership committee consists of Zbin, Smith, Abernathy,
Penny and (R.L Wright as a secret member) others.
The Password for the next meeting is Secrecy .

Subject: Officers meeting; UKA Unit #6, Ft. Lauderdale Fla.
Date: May 19, 1969; Time: 7:6opM ; Location; Klavern
An Officers meeting was held at the Klavern of Unit #6 and
the following Officers were present.
Arcy Anderson-EC Chip Frey
Lee Granims Wilbur Moor
James Penny Carl Carlstedt
Olen Abernathy Lonnie Smith
Sam McBroom Dan Zb in ,
The first order of business was the discussion concerning
The Secret Initiation of 12 new members.
This caused most of the discussion and brought a complete airing
of the action. The suspicion that one or two members ran the
affair was not erased. The EC said that such an event will not
take place or be planned without his knowledge in the future.
The next matter of concern was the indiscretion of Dan Zbin
and the possibility of his having lied to the EC. Previousley
Zbin had been advised not to send letters to the Imperial office
unless they had been cleared by the EC. Zbin had written a
letter to the Imperial: Of f ice after the edlc and when questioned
concerning this matter he apparantly lied to the EC and denied
having written the first letter requesting permission to speak,
at the businessmans luncheon.
Carlstedt wanted Zbin reprimanded. The EC asked Penny what
penalty could apply for such an offense, penny stated that it
could only be a reprimand as the least serious of a minor offense.
Zbin satisfactorily explained the letter and the EC apologized for
having doubted the word of his Klokan but that he wanted to know
for certain.
Carlstedt made a motion to have the Imperial office send a team
down to the Unit to give lie tests to all members and officers.
During the discussion Olen Abernathy asked if the motion was also
Just asking for advice or requesting the help officially, because,
he said, if we are asking for such a team to come here I'm against
it. Penny stated that he felt such a test should apply to the
Officers and certain key members but the expense of applying the
test to all. members would be prohibitive. The motion carried as
stated.
During the disucsslon concerning Security Penny wanted to know
why no Trial had been announced for the four men Bob Angove had
stated were informers. Anderson stated that there were no men,
that, Angove later told him in his car that he was Just baiting
a trap. Carlstedt felt tiat Angove hoped that someone would come
"Gunning" for him and that would Implicate him. Chip Frey said
that Angove would sue the Newspaper in his effort to uncover the
source of the Information leak. Carlstedt stated that he would
like to stay out of court as a witness. Carlstedt also said if
the Security in Unit #6 was not tightened he was quitting. Penny
asked if he was quittirig'.ln order :to help form a new unit. He

in South Florida. At the present time there is still
insufficient material available to make a follow-up film
on Klan activities. Miami will continue to follow this
matter with Channel 7.
Miami continues to watch Klan activity in South
Florida for possible couhterintelllgence measures as the
situations develop.
III. TANGIBLE RESULTS
UKA
Klavern 6, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla .
In 2/69, the Bureau authorized Miami to contact
the Managing Editor of the "Ft. Lauderdale News” relative
to a follow-up article on activities of Klavern 6 in Ft.
Lauderdale. The "Ft. Lauderdale News" on 4/25&25/69 published
a two article series, each consuming one full page in the
"Ft. Lauderdale News" re Klan activity in Broward County.
The tangible results from this article have been outstanding
in the disruption of Klavern 6 with the effects still being
noted during each Klavern meeting.
The principle tangible results Indicate a mistrust
and suspicion between the various members of Klavern 6.
Other tangible results are as follows:
1. Informants report widespread dissension in
Klavern with everyone being suspected as possible source of
information used by newspaper in preparation of article.
2. Suspicion that number of members are talking
to persons outside Klan, which is directly or indirectly
responsible for article being prepared.
3. Suspicion that newspaper has developed and
is operating informants within the Klavern itself, and has
installed electronic devices from which information obtained.

Htf 11637 Dodd: 59167712 Page 53
F-* -
MM 157-1114
4. ROBERT QUARTERMAN , former Klallff (Vice
President) has publicly renunciated Klan membership and
resigned .
It should be noted that QUARTERMAN, according
to our sources, mas one of the most militant members of
Klavern 6. In addition, QUARTERMAN did all of the printing
for the Klavern and they are now concerned that they mill
have to pay for such printing in the future.
... 5. JACK MAURO, Klexter (Outer Guard), has resigned,
burned his robe and security guard uniform. Additionally,
MAURO is owner of Jack*s Plumbing concern at which 4 other
Klavern 6 members were employed. This undoubtedly will have some
effect upon their employment.
6. Klavern leaders believed the newspaper exposure
of the Klan affected the Ft. Lauderdale rally held 5/3/69
where the Klan spent over $600.00 in expenses and recovered
only. $50.00 from donations.
\ 7. Special meetings have been held by Klavern
leaders in an effort to find ways to prevent leaks and
prevent members from discussing Klan activity outside of the
Klan meeting. They have recently proposed the hiring of a
private detective to lecture to the Klavern on "bugging" and
to examine the Klavern meeting hall for "bugs". In addition,
Klan leaders have again proposed that lie detector tests be
given to all members of Klavern 6.
8. A. J. ANDERSON, who has been active in Klavern
6 since the beginning, recently indicated he intends to resign
from the Klavern in view of the mistrust and dissension
among the leaders of the Klavern.

Jerry Wycol stated that as a result of his add in the Miami Herald the
Klak could expect new members but that one of those^ answering his add was
a Jew. e *.
James Penny asked about the letter that the Sec'y was to send to the
Imperial Office concerning the requirement that all members of Unit #6
had to take a lie detector test.
Sam replied that no such letter had been sent as the EC had never told
him to send such a letter. This caused some more discussion the gist of
which was best Voiced by Newell.
Newell stated that all of this controversy^ was just what the communists
wanted. 'All of these charges are just going to keep members from coming
to meetings , . , "As far as the lie detector test go, we had better leave
that subject alone".
Moye spoke up and stated that the security in the unit needed to be Improved
that the members did not have the proper respect for the Units Officers and
the Unit officers should lead the way in the rallys, and in the meetings
Insofar as dress and loose talk is concerned V He said that the Klan
should activily go after returning veterens , for membership.
P&elps stated that any member coming to the meeting With liquor on his
breath.
As what might be considered as a parting shot, Carlstedt stated" if there
Isn't better security in unit #6, I'm quitting, and forming another Unit.
Phelps stated that" all was being prepared for better security, and if the
members of the Security Guard had arrived for the mee thing he could have
announced some of the measures taken". Also said he "The regular EC will
have. to be present for some of these matters and no more discussion on
them should be heard".
The matter of suspending dues and initatlon fees for disabled veterans
was discussed and it was decided to forgo them and also to give John Moye
his fees back. It was voted on and modified somewhat. Instead of a full
100$ for all disabled veterans, it will be pro-rated on the percentage of
disability, l.e. 50$ disability will mean 50$ dues payable.
The Sec'y read the bank Balance. A total of §397.84 was announced.
The following members were present.
Bill Phelps
James Pennji
Sam KcBroom
Dan Zb in
Herman Heflin

pay for a Rally and the last one nearly broke the Unit.

Subject: Regular Meeting Unit #6, UKA,Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Date: June 23 » 1969. * \
The meeting opened in short form due to the lack of Officers present.
The EC was absent and the Klallf, Bill Phelps, acted in his place.
After the reading of the minutes by S.R. McBroom, James penny performed
an Init&ti©n. The New members name is John R. Craig residing at 111
S.W.f3St . Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
The meeting proceeded smoothly until Just after the call for General
Business. Up until that time onlymitlne matters had been discussed,
including the reading of a letter from a Mr. Shoemaker in Miami by
Gerry Y/ycol concerning his desire to Join the Klan. Also there had
befen the reading of Four (4) new petitions. The EC discussed the
matter of having a Rally while the Imperial Kludd is present on July
15 » 1969. James Penny made a motion Seconded by Carl Carls tedt that a
Site committee consisting of Phelps, Zbin, and Moye call on the Chamber
of Commerce in Davie to investigate the possibility of using the Rodeo
grounds for the Rally ad had been discussed Informally prior and during
the meeting. The motion was voted on and passed.
Just prior to closing the meething Phelps mentioned his desire for
better security. Dan Zbin said that Security was pretty good, as he
had not been informed of the increase in Initation Fee to $25.00.
Carl Carlstedt said that it had never been voted on-that it had Just
been decided on in an officers meething and] it had a good nurpose.
not
Sam McBroom denied that it hadAbeen voted on, and stated that it had
been properly adopted on June ' 2 , 1969 and produced the Minutes of that
date describing the floor participation and subsequently the vote.
Carlstedt stated that the minutes were only words on paper and who
could remember a better than the man charged with collecting the fee.
Sara McBroom stood up and told Carlstedt that he or any other member
could have his Job as Sec'y if he or any other member did not think
that he was doing the job properly.
This Act caused further dissent among the members and Gerry Y<ycol
spoke of the lack of interest among the members who did not wear their
robes or Uniforms a* the last rally. He said the unit should assess
a $5.00 Fine from all those members not wearing uniforms at the next
Rally. James Penny said that such an act would only weaker! and scare
off the much needed membership. Dan Zbin apologized to the new member
and said that we did not usually give the new members so much action on
his first night at a meeting.

IS TO SEND
TO VARIOUS
Dear Senator:
I an writing this letter in regard to a prisoner who I think
is one oi the few Americans in this country today.
I feel as do so many true Americans about* the man who is
boing kept locked up as a Political prisoner. The nan who I
an referring to is the Imperial Wizard of the UNITED KLAN3 OF
AMERICA, Mr, Robert Shelton, has shown as much courage in
fighting Communism as any nan in the Armed Forces in the defense
of our country.
I feel as many TRUE AMERICANS do that Mr. Shelton, was de-
prived of his Constitutional rights when he was thrown in jail.
If you will kindly take the tine to reread tho 4 th AMENDMENT
of the U. 3. Constitution you will note, that it states that —
—THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BE SECURE IK THEIR PERSONS, HOUSES,
PAPERS AND EFFECTS, AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES,
SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED, AMD NO WARRANTS SHALL ISSUE, BUT UPON
PROBABLE CAUSE, SUPPORTED BY OATH OR AFFIRMATION, AND PARTICULARLY
DESCRIBING THE PLACE TO BE SEARCHED, AND THE PERSONS OR THINGS TO
BE SEIZED.
Senator, I personally feel that Mr. Shelton should bo sot free
immediately and lot him continue to fight the disease that is
placing our beloved country today COMMUNISM !
It aeons that at least once or twice a x/oek that tho Black
panthers pictures are in the papers. They always ssom to bo
carrying guns and shells in public and I have yet to see pictures
of the U, K. A. carrying guns in public. Although for tho Black
Panthers, it sooms to bo justified to x^oar guns raid to carry on
this barbaric behavior in public. Why can't this be stopped,
or is it becoming a law that tho Black Panthers can carry guns in
tho public streets, ON COURT HOUSE STEPS NO LESS! I feci that it
is a Communist Inspired Organization and that it should be stopped
AND MUST BE G TOPPED by any means possible, in order to save our
fro© America.
Mr. Shelton, should be free to help end those types of organi-
zations as he has boon doing in tho past x-jith a lot of thanks
from the TRUE AMERICAN FEOFLE. •
Thank you for your cooperation.

INTRODUCTION
You are about to read one of the most shocking accounts of the brazen and terrorist
Black Militant Sneak Operations yet perpetrated to white American Citizens.
As you read this summary of a minute by minute factual report on the actual events that
took place you are sure to be appalled and yet this is merely one more incident, on a lengthy
list, that has happened in white communities throughout the country.
At the conclusion you will find our answer as to what we propose to do to end this com-
munist inspired negro revolt against the White Citizens of America.
ACTUAL EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRED IN MIDDLETOWN, N.C. ON JULY 4, 1969
On July 4, 1969 around 4 o'clock in the afternoon two negroes in a car blocked the road in
front of Al Gibbs’ home near our Rally site in Middletown, North Carolina and refused to let a
white lady driving a Rambler automobile pass. Some of our people asked them to move.
They started cursing the white people and appeared to be drunk. Our people asked them
again to move on and the negro in the right front seat stuck a rifle out the window of the
car and fired. The negro driver flashed a nickel plated pistol. At this point the white people,
after having been fired at, fired several shots at the car.
The Highway Patrol were called in and some came about an hour later. In the meantime
the number of negroes around the rally site increased. Sgt. Smith, the investigating officer,
said there was one bullet hole in the windshield of the negroes car and that it was fired from
the outside into the automobile. There was never at anytime any white people in front of
the automobile, this shot had to have been fired by the negroes themselves.
Joe Bryant, in charge of the rally, asked Sgt. Smith of the Highway Patrol to remove the
negroes that had gathered. Sgt. Smith said he had called for more help and if everybody
would go inside the house he would have plenty of help in forty-five minutes to clear the
negroes out. It was about an hour and a half before any more help arrived and (hey did
not attempt to move the negroes.
At approximately 8:15 Sgt. Smith told Joe Bryant to go ahead and start the Rally. More
negroes had been gathering all this time and were cursing the white people and threatening
to burn their homes, the building we were in and shouting insults and vile language at all the
white people. It was not enough that they were shouting obscene language in the presence
of the women and children, but they were yelling Black Power during the entire time.
They kept disrupting the speakers by yelling and singing which made it near impossible to
continue at times, but the white people remained calm and as attentative as possible. The
officers, instead of trying to move the negroes back or trying to stop them from using the
vile and abusive language, stood in the road and chatted amicably with them.
Again and again Sgt. Smith was asked by Joe Bryant to anest the negroes or at least
move them away from the area. Sgt. Smith would reply: they have done nothing and they
arc standing in a public road. Finally Joe Bryant called Sgt. Smith to the side of (he plat-
form and told him that he had asked him several times to move the negroes back and that
now he was asking hint for the last time, before two witnesses, to move the negroes and also
stated he would swear out a warrant for the arrest of the negroes. Sgt. Smith replied, you
don’t need two witnesses and repeated the negroes are on a public road and have a right to
be there. At this point Joe Bryant, knowing the white people were tiring of this abuse, told
Sgt. Smith we have obeyed all your orders and you have not moved the negroes, which you
said you would do, and if you do not move the negroes I cannot be responsible for holding
the white people back any longer, and now I am asking you for the last time to move the
negroes.
Sgt. Smith returned to the road and gave orders to his men to move the negroes back.
They moved the negroes about 30 or 40 yards down the road. During all this time the
negroes had been openly drinking whiskey and beer and throwing the bottles and cans down.
The Rally continued, but the negroes kept hollering and cursing from the intersection
where the patrolmen had moved them.
When the rally was closing a cross lighting ceremony was held and in the light of the
burning cross a shot was fired from the crowd of negroes between and near an old store at
the intersection and a bridge. Two more shots were fired by the negroes from the comer of
the Post Office across the bridge. All these shots struck the house the women and children
were in. The women and children started screaming and crying and the white people started
firing back. The women and children were told to get on the floor and all the lights were
turned out.
When the firing ceased someone shouted to shoot the street light out, but after three or
four shots were fired by some unknown person the light was still biurning and the patrolmen
shouted “stop that firing” and ran back into the yard and started taking the weapons away
from the white people. One patrolman shouted to Sgt. Smith, this man has a rifle pointed
out the window. The elderly man denied this charge. The patrolmen rushed into the house
and grabbed the man and Sgt. Smith hit him with a blackjack.
HW 11637 Dodd: 59167712 Page 72
After taking all the weapons away from the white people, they told tkiiOago out the
door and everyon^B^Brched at the door, including the women and I^B^Bcverybody
to leave. Sgt. SmlH^Pe orders to arrest Joe Bryant and that preache^^SRpears) and
all Security Guards. He never at anytime made any attempt to arrest the negroes.
While the white people were attempting to' leave the scene, another shot was fired by the
negroes. One patrolman was struck with some shots. The patrolmen did not return the fire
and all the white people had been disarmed and therefore could not, but fortunately that
was the last of the shooting. Still the arresting officers made no attempt to arrest any
negroes. •
The seventeen white men were directed to the Swanquarter courthouse where three
were charged with inciting a riot, all seventeen were charged with aiding and abetting in a
riot and damaging property less than $1,500.00 and one was charged with resisting arrest.
All were later released on bonds ranging from SI 50.00 to S500.00.
CONCLUSION
Now that you have read the facts, we must add here that from the very beginning of this
fiasco, the controlled news media told the story as being a “shoot out” and carefully con-
cealed the facts that the Klansmen were in peaceful assembly on private property and the
target of a planned armed militant attack.
As much as we dislike asking for financial support, we (The Imperial Wizard, the Board
and myself) feel this case is of the utmost importance to the salvation of this organization as
we go to battle for our seventeen brothers.
As you know wc have been harrassed and intimidated from the very beginning of the con-
ception of the United Klans of America, but with your dedicated help, we have survived
other storms. The seventeen men arrested on false trumped up charges are the caliber of
men rarely found in any organization. Their names are as follows, and l‘m sure you will
recognize at least a few of these’dedicatcd klansmen as your noble brothers: Dr. Joe Bryant,
Rev. James Spears, Dean Williams, Ronald E. Batts, Charles H. Bozell, Elijah “Buddy” Pate,
David L. Daughtridge, L.E. Daughtry, Cecil Wm. Brown, Thomas C. Curlings, James E.
Scott, Jessie Mathews, Donald Hattcin, Janies M. Booth, Edward Dawson, Gene Perry and
Robert L. Payne.
This is your organization Patriots, and these men are your brothers. It might be well to
remember that it could have been your own wife or child, lying on the floor in fear for their
lives, in the bullet riddled building that these brothers had to protect.
The Imperial Wizard, the Board and myself, feel this case warrants special attention and
should be fought, as we finally have irrevocable evidence that the negroes mentioned in the
above summary were wholly responsible for the events that transpired and that law enforce-
ment officers have been rendered helpless to do their job because of the fear the Justice
Department has instilled in any officer who defends the white man's position against the
negroes.
As you well know our previous defense fund has long been exhausted and so, in order to
fight this and other cases with the best possible attorney, who believes in our cause and will
render us justice, we are setting up a UNITED DEFENSE FUND that will enable us to carry
on our never ending battle to preserve our traditional American way of life.
Wc have set up the UNITED DEFENSE FUND as a separate branch of the United Klans
of America and Alabama Rescue Service. The UNIJED DEFENSE FUND will be controlled
by the Board of Trustees named on this letter. Your donations to this fund entitles you to
receive professional legal services against any legitimate case deemed Klan Business, and such
case will immediately be defended upon the vote of approval by the Board of Trustees from
your State and the Imperial Board.
We have retained the international famous attorney, Arthur J. Hanes. This patriotic man has
made tremendous financial sacrifices in the past and was relieved from the James Earl Ray case
on the killing of Martin Luther King without' pay. Therefore due to these circumstances he
said that he would start on the case and fight it to hell and back as soon as I gave him a check
for 512,500. Wc are fortunate to be able to obtain such a well known attorney to defend us
and Klansmen I am asking you to support this fund, so that we can build a fund that will put
the fear of God into the one worlders, and destroyers of our great nation.
You may begin by emptying your treasures into this UNITED DEFENSE FUND, which
will enable your organization to benefit you a thousand fold. May God enable your help to
be the salvation of our nation.
Klansmen, Friends, and fellow patriots, we have at hand the opportunity to put some
justice back into our courts, won't you please send in your donations before July 16, 1969,
as this is the date set for the trial of the seventeen men arrested in Middletown, North Carolina
and we must be able to have legal representation at this trial.
Your donation to the UNITED DEFENSE FUND will be deposited in a Special bank
account and in the future we will have ready funds to defend ourselves against this outright
disregard of our (White People) rights.
Upon receipt of any unit or individual donation the donator will receive a certificate of Merit
printed in gold, naming the amount and unit number or individual’s name in Ole English
lettering.
Yours for God and Country,
Melvin Sexton, Imperial Kligrapp
Executive Administrator

INTRODUCTION
*
You are about <o read one of the most shocking accounts of the brazen and terrorist'
Black Militant Sneak Operations yet perpetrated to white American Citizens. • '
As you read this summary of a minute by minute factual report on the actual events that
took place you are sure to be appalled and yet this is merely one more incident, on a lengthy
list, that has happened in white communities throughout the country.
At the conclusion you will find our answer as to what we propose to do to end this com-
munist inspired. negro revolt against the White Citizens of America.
ACTUAL EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRED IN MIDDLETOWN, N.C. ON JULY 4, 1969
On July 4, 1969 around 4 o'clock in the afternoon two negroes in a car blocked the road in
front of Al Gibbs' home near our Rally site in Middletown, North Carolina and refused to let a
white Lady driving a Rambler automobile pass. Some of our people asked them to move.
They started cursing the white people and appeared to be drunk. Our people asked them
again to move on and the negro in the right front seat stuck a rifle out the window of the
car and fired. The negro driver flashed a nickel plated pistol. At this point the white people,
after having been fired at, fired several shots at the car.
The Highway Patrol were called in and some came about an hour later. In the meantime
the number of negroes around the rally site increased. Sgt. Smith, the investigating officer,
said there was one bullet hole in the windshield of the negroes car and that it was fired from
the outside into the automobile. There was never at anytime any white people in front of
the automobile, this shot had to have been fired by the negroes themselves.
Joe Bryant, in charge of the rally, asked Sgt; Smith of the Highway Patrol to remove the
negroes that had gathered. Sgt. Smith said he had called for more help and if everybody
would go inside the house he would have plenty of help in forty-five minutes to clear the
negroes out. It was about nil hour and a half before any more help arrived and they did
not attempt to move the negroes.
At approximately 8:15 Sgt. Smith told Joe Bryant to go ahead and start the Rally. More
negroes had been gathering all this time and were cursing the white people and threatening
to bum their homes, the building wc were in and shouting insults and vile language at all the
white people. It was not enough that they were shouting obscene language in the presence
of the women and children, but they were yelling Black Power during the entire time.
They kept disrupting the speakers by yelling and singing which made it near impossible to
continue at times, but the white people remained calm and as attentative as possible. The
officers, instead of trying to move the negroes back or trying to stop them from using the
vile and abusive language, stood in the road and chatted amicably with them.
Again and again Sgt. Smith was asked by Joe Bryant to arcest the negroes or at least
move them away from the area. Sgt. Smith would reply; they have done nothing and they
are standing in a public road. Finally Joe Bryant called Sgt. Smith to the side of the plat-
form and told him that he had asked him several times to move tile negroes back and that
now he was asking him for the last time, before two witnesses, to move the negroes and also
stated he would swear out a warrant for the arrest of the negroes. Sgt. Smith replied, you
don’t need two witnesses and repeated the negroes are on a public road and have a right to
be there. At this point Joe Bryant, knowing the white people were tiring of this abuse, told
Sgt. Smith we have obeyed all your orders and you have not moved the negroes, which you
said you would do, and if you do not move the negroes I cannot be responsible for holding
the white people back any longer, and now I am asking you for the last time to move the
negroes.
Sgt. Smith returned to the road and gave orders to his men to move the negroes back.
They moved the negroes about 30 or 40 yards down the road. During all this time tire
negrucs had been openly drinking whiskey and beer and throwing the bottles and cans down;
The Rally continued, but the negroes kept hollering and cursing from the intersection. -
where the patrolmen had moved them.
When the rally was' closing a cross lighting ceremony was held and in the light of the '
burning cross a shot was fired from the crowd of negroes between and near an old store at
the intersection and a bridge. Two more shots were fired by the negroes from the corner of
the Post Office across the bridge. All these shots struck the house the women and children
were in. - -The women and children started screaming and crying and the white people started
firing back. The women and children were told to get on the floor and all the lights were
turned out. •
" When the firing ceased someone shouted ter shoot the street light out, but after three or
four shots were fired by some unknown person the light was still burning and the patrolmen
shouted “stop that firing" and ran back into the yard and started taking the weapons away
from the white people. One patrolman shouted to Sgt. Smith, this man has a rifle pointed
out the window. The elderly man denied this charge. The patrolmen rushed into the house
and grabbed the man and Sgt. Smith hit him with a blackjack.

After taking all Uie^ttapons away from the white people, they told^mi^to go out the
door and cvcryon^B^Arched at the door, including the women and ^H^Bcvcrybody
to leave. Sgt. Snra^^W orders to arrest Joe Bryant and that preache^^t^^pcars) and
all Security Guards. He never at anytime made any attempt to arrest the negroes.
While the white people were attcmplingto' leave the scene, another shot was fired by the
negroes. One patrolman was struck with some shots. The patrolmen did not return the fire
and all the white people had been disarmed and therefore could not, but fortunately that
was the last of the shooting. Still the arresting officers made no attempt to arrest any
negroes. .
The seventeen white men were . directed to the Swanquarter courthouse where three
were charged with inciting a riot, all seventeen were charged with aiding and abetting in a
riot and damaging property less than SI, 500.00 and one was charged with resisting arrest.
All were later released on bonds ranging from S150.00 to S500.00.
CONCLUSION
Now that you have read the facts, we must add here that from the very beginning of this
fiasco, the controlled news media told the story as being a “shoot out" and carefully con-
cealed the facts that the Klansmen were in peaceful assembly on private property and the
target of a planned armed militant attack.
As much as we dislike asking for financial support, we (The Imperial Wizard, the Board
and myself) feel this case is of the utmost importance to the salvation of this organization as
we go to battle for our seventeen brothers.
As you know we have been harrassed and intimidated from the very beginning of the con-
ception of the United Klans of America, but with your dedicated help, we have survived
other storms. The seventeen men arrested on false trumped up charges are the caliber of
men rarely found in any organization. Their names are as follows, and I‘in sure you will
recognize at least a few of these dedicated Klansmen as your noble brothers: Dr. Joe Bryant,
Rev. James Spears, Dean Williams, Ronald E. Batts, Charles H. Bozcll, Elijah “Buddy” Pate,
David L. Daughtridge, L.E. Daughtry, Cecil Wm. Brown, Thomas G. Curlings, James E.
Scott, Jessie Mathews, Donald Hattcm, James M. Booth, Edward Dawson, Gene Perry and
Robert L. Payne.
This is your organization Patriots, and these men are your brothers. It might be well to
remember that it could liave been your own wife or child, lying on the floor in fear for their
lives, in the bullet riddled building that these brothers had to protect.
The Imperial Wizard, the Board and myself, feel this case warrants special attention and
should be fought, as we finally have irrevocable evidence that the negroes mentioned in the
above summary were wholly responsible for the events that transpired and that law enforce-
ment officers have been rendered helpless to do their job because of the fear the Justice
Department has instilled in any officer who defends the white man's position against the
negroes.
As you well know our previous defense fund has long been exhausted and so, in order to
fight this and other cases with the best possible attorney, who believes in our cause and will
render us justice, we are setting up a UNITED DEFENSE FUND that will enable us to carry
on our never ending battle to preserve our traditional American way of life.
We have set up the UNITED DEFENSE FUND as a separate branch of the United Klans
of America and Alabama Rescue Service. The UNIJED DEFENSE FUND will be controlled
by the Board of Trustees named on this letter. Your donations to this fund entitles you to
receive professional legal services against any legitimate case deemed Klan Business, and such
case will immediately be defended upon the vote of approval by the Board of Trustees from
your State and the Imperial Board.
We have retained the international famous attorney, Arthur J. Hanes. This patriotic man has
made tremendous financial sacrifices in the past and was relieved from the James Earl Ray case
on the killing of Martin Luther King without pay. Therefore due to these circumstances he
said that he would start on the case and fight it to hell and back as soon as I gave him a check
for $12,500. We are fortunate to be able to obtain such a well known attorney to defend us
and Klansmen I am asking you to support this fund, so that w r e can build a fund that will put
the fear of God into the one worlders, and destroyers of our great nation.
You may begin by emptying your treasures into this UNITED DEFENSE FUND, which
will enable your organization to benefit you a thousand fold. May God enable your help to
be the salvation of our nation.
Klansmen, Friends, and fellow patriots, we have at hand the opportunity to put some
justice back into our courts, won't you please send in your donations before July 16, 1969,
as this is the date set for the trial of the seventeen men arrested in Middletown, North Carolina
and we must be able to have legal representation at this trial.
Your donation to the UNITED DEFENSE FUND will be deposited in a Special bank
account and in the future we will have ready funds to defend ourselves against this outright
disregard of our (White People) rights.
Upon receipt of any unit or individual donation the donator will receive a certificate of Merit
printed in gold, naming the amount and unit number or individual's name in Ole English
lettering.
Yours for God and Country,
Melvin Sexton, Imperial Kligrapp

JULY 15, 1969
TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA
Esteemed Klansmen and Klansladies:
We, members of the Imperial Board, have known for sometime that the time would come when it would
be necessary for us to have a United Defense Fund for the purpose of defending Klansmen or Klansladies
who are willing to speak out and stand firm for Cod, Country, our purposes and principles, rather than
submit to the tactics of the bureaucrats and move silently in the background and . await the take over.
Time after time we have witnessed the harrassment tactics of the Federal bureaucrats, the break down in
law and order and the injustice in our courts. It was plain, for the whole world to see, when our Imperial
Wizard and other leaders were carried to prison for contempt, that justice no longer prevailed in our Land.
Again and again, case after case which you are familariy with and would be too lengthy for us to print
in this letter, we have fought these battles in the courts one at a time. The United Defense Fund would
assure us of immediate funds when such emergencies arise, and would guarantee every Klansman or Klans-
lady legal defense council in event he or she falls victim to the harrassment type arrest as has been before.
In order to build this United Defense Fund and KEEP IT, it will be necessary for every Unit to abide
by the following By-laws and mail assessments to United Defense Fund, P.O. Box 2369, Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. These assessments will be deposited in a Special account (United Defense Fund) and held in
escrow for future legal council. When it becomes necessary to employ legal council, the total amount of
the cost will be drawn from the United Defense Fund and each Unit will be notified, as soon as possible, of
the amount of the pro-rated assessment needed to replenish this Fund.
BY-LAWS of UNITED DEFENSE FUND
Units with membership of 50 or less are assessed S200.00.
Units with membership of 51 to 100 are assessed S300.00.
Units with membership of 101 to 150 are assessed S400.00.
Units with membership of 151 to 200 are assessed S500.00, and so on.
All Units are required to increase their assessment SI 00.00 when membership increases above first stated
figure.
After the United Defense Fund is established and in event it becomes necessary to use any of the funds
accumulated— When total cost of legal council is known for each case, then and only then will every
Unit in the United Kians of America be informed of its pro-rated assessment for the case.
Each Unit will be required to send in its assessment to replenish the Fund, the total cost of the case.
This assessment will be based on the number of Units participating and the size of each Unit.
Every Unit will be assessed a portion of the cost of each case, no matter where the case is being fought.
In event any Klansman or Klanslady is arrested for speaking out or standing up for God, Country and the
principles of this organization, while in the line of duty representing the United Kians of America, he
should contact the trustees from his or her state and request legal counsel.
The Trustees should then bring this to the attention of the Imperial Board and they in turn will validate •
said case for payment.
It is imperative that every Unit send in their initial assessment, whether it be S200.00, S300.00, $400.00,
etc., to this fund immediately. To realize our purpose we must raise this fund to $50,000.00 or more.
With this kind of a showing we can put the fear of God into the destroyers of our great nation, return law
and order to our country and bring justice back into our courts but we must act immediately.
Each of us enjoy our social fraternal meetings but let us not forget our real purpose for meeting. To
accomplish this purpose all Units and States must unite their efforts and make the United Defense
Fund a success, realizing victory or defeat for all. And my brothers, whether you believe it or not our
Country is in grave danger from aggressors, who are attempting to destroy it through violence, and corrup-
tion. We pledge»to go with you to death if necessary to prevent this great tragedy, but we need your
assurance that you are ready and willing to bind yourselves by an unyielding tie to carry out our purpose.

Regular, meeting Unit #6, UXA, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Aug. 18, 1969
The unit did not have a Quorum ore-sent according to the EC, therefore,
Formal opening Ceremonies v/ere dispensed with.
The course of the meeting only concerned the impending Initiation
Ceremony, Aug. 25, 1969 and the Bar-B-Q, dinner at Dan Zbins home
Aug. 30, 1969. '
The following Attended the meeting: ...

According to Moye, the Bar-B-Q Chairman, he had collected §68. 00. and
all is in readyness for the event.
The EC. Discussed the Initiation Ceremony and requested every member
be present in clean robes .. .
The EC later discussed the Officer roie in Unit #6. He said he was
not going to be an officer in the New Election Year, but while he
presently is EC he is going to be EC and no Power Struggle would
take place while he is EC. This statement was in obvious reference
to an event at the last regular meeting wherein a minor disagreement
occured concerning who would be EC for the Meeting.
After the meeting, the following persons were asked to remain for
an Officers meeting: Dan Zbin, James Penny, Garry 'Wycol, John Moye;
John Craig also was permitted to attend as he had been outside during
the meeting as a Guard.
The EC discussed the Role each person w as to play in the Klavern and
the lack of communication. He said he had left orders several weeks
previously* to have John Moye assume the EC position in botho his and
the Klallffs absence. Penny told the EC that MOYE did not say that
at the last meeting. Moye admitted that he did not say he had direct
orders from the EC at that time. The EC stated that he wanted the
Officers to work together and stop - this pettyness. He also said the
matter was closed and therb would be.no more discussion on the matter.
Prior to leaving The EC said he wanted penny to prepare an examination
on the Oaths for the next meeting, and Zbin to bring in a performance
and Ability report on each officer including the EC.

LESSON SIXTEEN
KLANS
• • • - : :
ARTICLE XVIII
This lesson should be carefully studied as a know-
ledge of its contents will enable Klansmen to avoid
many mistakes and to function intelligently as a
member of their own particular Klan. The provisions
are clear and explicit. There need be no guessing
nor doubting, but there docs need to be conformity
to the law as set forth here.
I. INSTITUTION OF KJLANS:
1 . Unorganized Realms:
(a) In states having no Realm organization the
King Klcagle shall be the judge of the location to
institute a new Klan.
2. Disbandment of any Provisional Klan:
(a) The Grand Dragon in Realm organizations,
or the Imperial Board in states without Realm organiza-
¥ •
tion, shall, upon being authorized by the Imperial
Wizard, upon recommendation of the Imperial Board
have power to order the disbandment of any pro-
visional Klan for the same cause that the charter of
a chartered Klan maybe revoked; and such order of
disbandment shall have the . same effect as a revoca-
tion of the charter of a Chartered Klan.
3. Applicants:
(a) Are to be voted on: Upon the organization
of a Klan, a vote shall be had on the petitioners, and
if there be three negative votes cast on the ballot as a
whole, then an individual ballot shall be had by the
balloting on the petitioners one at a time, three
negative ballots rejecting.
(b) Challenging an applicant: After a Klan has
been organized and prior to the issuance and closing
of its charter, charter applicants must be submitted
to the Klan in Klonklave assembled.
(c) Method of challenging: If any Klansman
present knows any just reason that disqualifies an
applicant for membership, he must rise to his feet
and challenge that applicant and state his reasons for
so doing.
(d) Investigation by the Klokann: This done,
the Provisional Exalted Cyclops, or the Kleagle in
charge acting as such, shall refer the application to
the Klokann and the Klokann shall investigate the
application on the basis of the grounds of objection.
(e) Findings to be reported: And they shall re-
port such applicant at the next subsequent Klonklave,
if possible, or at which Klonklave final action shall be
taken.
(f) Rejected Applicant: An applicant who has been
finally rejected cannot apply again until after the
expiration of twelve months from date of rejection.
(g) Prescribed report: If after a careful investi-
gation the Klokann finds that the objector was in
error, they shall report accordingly and recommend
the passage of the applicant, and the Klan shall take
definite and final action on the report of the Klokann.
3.-B APPLICANTS CONTINUED:
(a) Method of presenting applicant in Chartered
Klans: Applications for membership in chartered Klans
shall be read three times in Klonklave assembly, and
*
an opportunity given each member present to make
objections.
(b) Objections: All objections maybe made in
writing, signed by the objector and delivered to Klokann,
whose duty it shall be to investigate the objections and
make their findings and report the same to the Klan
body for its adoption or rejection. All petitions must
be made in writing on Form K-115.
3. -C REJECTED APPLICANTS:
(a) An applicant who has been finally rejected
cannot apply again until after the expiration of twelve
months from date of rejection and shall be within
the jurisdiction of that Klan for a period of three
years.
(b) Provision for special dispensation: Provided,
however, upon request of the Klokann of that Klan
through regular channels the Grand Dragon and Staff
of Organized Realms or the Imperial Wizard and
Staff in unorganized states, a special dispensation may
be granted ordering another ballot taken immediately.
4. Duty of Klansman presenting name of applicant:
A Klansman who presents the name of an applicant
for membership in this Order must know the applicant
'personally and be familiar with his qualifications accord-
ing to this Constitution and Laws.
(a) Further duty of Klansman presenting name of
applicant: All members of a Klan must faithfully
guard the portal of the Invisible Empire so that no
person not qualified to enter therein shall be admitted.
5. Klectokon to be returned to rejected applicant:
In the event a petitioner or an applicant is denied
membership in this order, the sum of his Klectokon
shall be immediately returned to him.
6. Objections and rejections to be kept sacred: All
actions of a Klan in rejecting an applicant for member-
ship, as to the Votes cast, and by whom objections
were made, are a positive secret of this Order.
(a) Penalty for violation: Members who have
knowledge of same and divulge or intimate in the
slightest degree or cause such knowledge to be in any
way communicated to any person not a member,
shall be at once banished from the Invisible Empire
for the violation of his oath.
7. Chartering a Klan:
(a) When the required number of charter peti-
tioners have been obtained in a community where a
Klan is to be located, a regular petition for the
issuance of charter shall be forwarded to the Imperial
Wizard through regular channels.
(b) Petition must give Certain Information: Such
petition must give the name selected for the Klan,
time of the meeting of regular Klonklave and must be
signed by the Kleagle in charge of the officers, giving
the address of that Klan.
The Klan Charter shall be dealt with in the next
lesson. Pointing out the assurances and responsibilities
of petitioners as well as the powers, privileges and
prerogatives conferred upon them.

Esteemed Klansmen:
Since our last newsletter went out I have traveled over S,000 miles, visited with many Klansmen, Klan
leaders from most every state and find that everyone is enthused and filled with more determination
than ever to make the United Klans of America, the only legally organized Klan group in this country,
bigger and more successful than ever in the fight against the enemies of our Country.
We are very pleased with the reception we have found to the United Defense Fund. We are very
pleased with the eagerness and determination every Klansman has expressed to the Man for Man member-
ship drive. Most Klansmen have expressed their feelings in this manner: “The United Defense Fund gives
us a goal to work toward and will make us a more powerful force against our enemies and this we need.
We also need more members, for the more strength we have the more powerful we can be. I think this
is one of the things we are falling down on and perhaps needs more attention than any other thing at this
time. I like the idea of a man for man membership drive and I think it can easily be done.”
Klansmen, if these are not your sentiments, you are out of step with your brother. Don’t let him carry
all the load. Join in and help him with the task. I realize at tunes we get discouraged, especially when we
look around and see so much happening and seemingly we might think, what are we doing about it? My
brothers our strength maybe the determing factor in the end so make a covenant with yourself to do every-
thing possible to encourage patriots everywhere to join with us, get in a Unit, stay in a Unit so as to stay in-
formed. With the conditions existing in our Country today we need to be United at all times. Klansmen if
you have been in doubt about our aims I hope this will clarify them and you will join in with all your
efforts and assistance now so that we as a group might be able to see our goals and aims fulfilled soon.
Look around you at the different groups of our enemies and you will see that they grow in numbers,
never showing a decrease but always an increase in membership. Perhaps you can then see why we have
not been able to move as fast as they.
I’m asking every Unit to contact all the men who were once in their Unit and have dropped out for
one reason or another and explain to them the necessity of getting back into a Unit and staying in a Unit.
If you feel you cannot explain the necessity of them coming back into a Unit show them this letter and
I am sure they will readily understand.
Many of our Units have sent in the list of members who contributed to the Defense Fund and wish
to have their contributions applied to the assessment of the Unit, but many have not. So if you have not,
please do so at once so we can correct our records and make up a report for every Unit.
We urge every Klansman to get his ticket with donation to Operation Patriotism in as soon as possible so
he will be eligible for the drawing on September 27, 1969.,
Upon our efforts depends the success of the Order, the effectiveness of the Order and the reputation
of the Order, so let us make it Great for God’s sake, for our childrens sake and our Country’s sake.
MAY GOD HELP AND BLESS YOU. Yours fw Cod and Country>

On August 6, 1969, Florida Coordinator JOHN PAUL
ROGERS of Lake Wales, Florida, accompanied by G„ C. GRANIMS
of Fort Lauderdale Klavern #6, met at 624 Coral Road, rural
Miami, with approximately six prospective Klansmen, two wives
being present. This meeting lasted approximately three hours,
from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and it appeared that integration
problems, bussing and the school situation were the impetus
of these prospective members.
On August 11, 1969, at 7:30 p.m. the regular meeting
of Klavern #6 was held at a warehouse in the 3700 block of
N. W. 9th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The following
members were seen to be in attendance:
CRAIG, HAROLD CARLSTEDT, JOHN MOYE, RUSSELL CHASE,
LONNIE SMITH, WILLIAM PENNY, DAN ZBIN, FREY, HEFLIN, WRIGHT,
LEWIS THORNTON, LARRY BLAND, GARY WYCALL.
It was brought out during the meeting that members
SAM McBROOM and OLIN ABERNATHY were away on vacations.
Election of officers in November, 1969, was discussed
and it was apparent JOHN MOYE, through his statements, feels
he should be elected as an officer.
Tickets were sold for an Eagle Brand semi-automatic
weapon and for the August 30, 1969, B-B-Q.
Need for defense funds by the National Headquarters
was discussed and there is $326.00 in Klavern #6 treasury.
National Headquarters claims to be $9,000.00 in debt as the
result of legal fees and operating costs.
The meeting closed at 9:30 p.m.

The election were held from the top down, chaos would result
in the area of secure records keeping, g It was stated oby Ud am e s

eliminate the confusion-; John Paul Rogers agreed that it would
be OK a3 did Lee Granlms . There was no dissent at that time.

Paul Rogers told Moye that it was a legal election and proper,
further more, he asked moye where in the Kloran he had found the

and Phelps along with John Craig were left arguing about the

The Following Officers met at Dan Zbins Home on October 1969,
At ; 8 :FM
James Penny , EC Bill Phelps Gary Wycall

Gus Johnson John Craig Buck Mattern
Lonnie Smith Herman Heflin Bob Bralnard
Herman Heflin Discussed the Chicken Cook-out to be held on Oct.. 25» 1969.
James Penny Said he called the meeting because he wanted to Outline
his desires for the unit for the coming year.
His opening remarks concerned the Theme “Lets work together and
not work against each other. He also made a reference to the way
the election went and stated a location in the Kloran 'which said
any order of business was advisory and up to the Unit EC. This
was in obvious reference to John Moyes grine about the election.
The other points made were :
Home phones would not be used for important business.
Outer guards will be posted.
No one will bring up a controversial matter relating to internal
security until committee has had an opportunity to look into the
matter. Security matters will not be brought on the floor.
All motions will be stated in the portion of business concerning
Edification of members or New business in order to speed uo the meeting.
Asked for effective committee action including combining certain ones,
all of the above was well taken. The only item that seemed to
cause some problem was the suggestion that the Sec'y use a tape
recorder to take the minutes so that controversy could be avoided.
Phelps and McBroom seemed to dislike the Idea and Penny dropped it
saying he was only trying to avoid usual controversy of minutes lacking
motions and the dispojtion of same, penny said he had to catch a
O’
hw np&te (9:00PM) and the meetinsc continued. OTen
Fg 2, Officers meeting ■ fl^.26, 1969
Gus Johnson stated that the unit did not have anything to hide
i
and dwfty stress, all of the security precautions, all of the time.
Phelps told the group i-V* * (Less Dan Zbln as he took Penny
to the Airport) about how bitter John Moye was and that Moye w as
going to stress the matter of rigged elections with. the Imperial
officers.
After Dan got back to the meeting only the matter of working together
as a unit was discussed. The building site w as prepared and the
permit had been obtained from the city. The general feeling among
„/
those expressing same w as that unit //6 was going to have a good
year. Dan told of receiving a ticket on election night and how
he had received a hard time from the Oakland park Police dept. He
said he told the Cheif he knew at 4:00 O'clock on Oct. 20, 1969.
about the impending police intervention and all harrassment.
He said the Cheif was apparantely surprised.
The members left at 10:1 8?M .

UKA Building Report
The Members of Unit #6 have voted to build a new Klavern at a location
owned by Dan 2bin upon the presentation of a -good lease.
Basically , 'The terms of the lease are as f ollows :
Term-5years
Termination Terms: Only if the Property is sold within the Term;
Rent: Unit to pay Mrs. Zbln §25.00 a month in consideration of lease.
Other Requirements: Unit #6 to build on Zbins property a structure
to Zbins Set of Plans. Said Structure to be located on old Green-
House Site.
Lee Granims refused to sign the lease as he is in the building trades
and feel3 that the lease will wind up in the newspaper.
Sam McBroom and Olen Abernathy also do not want to sign the lease.
The lease has many inked in changes to correct certain wording, and
there is membership conjecture whether or not Mrs. Zbin actually
signed the lease. The lease was not witnessed, when Dan Zbin or
H Mrs.Z2bin*‘ were to have signed same.
Zbin has been heard to say that only two copies of the lease were
in c existence and none of them had better ever get in the newspaper.
Many members are not happy with the terms of the lease. The Question
has been raised; What happens when Zbin dies? Or Decides to have
the members removed?
The new Klavern is to be ready by December 1, 1969. The members
will build the Klavern from November 1, 1969 until finished to the
desired state of readyness with inner and outer dens.
Zbin has obtained the permit , reportedly , as a storage building.
Jess Taylor Has made an arraignment with Dixie Lumber Co. and is
acting supervisor for the construction, using, of course, Dixie
Lumber Co. Materials on Credit or give-away.
It might be assumed that some of the materials will be donated from
certain . Cost Plu3 jobs that Jess Taylor is working on. Some of the
excess money will also wind up In a private fund or pocket, as the
case may be.
The Actual Address of the new Klavern will be 2600 SW 2nd Ave. Ft
Lauderdale, Fla.
•No Permit has been issued by the City for .Occupancy or use as a
meeting hall.

STA'J^MEETING AND RALLY, UKA £
A Rally was held at the Orlando Klavern(Unit #12) on November
1, 1969. The Ladies Aux. provided a Chicken and Rib Dinner for
the public attending, the Rally. The fee was §2 .OO/person for dinner.
The Crowd turnout was estimated at 40-60 Non Klansmen. The
weather was inclement and water was standing on the Rally Grounds.
, The number of Robed Klansmen varied but was estimated at 22. The
actual count at the Cross Burning was 19, and included two women.
The Cross Burning Ceremony was considered a failure; The
Klansman in charge couldn't get a lighter or match to work. They
could not get the torches to light for a long time. The Ceremony
was marred by torches going out and the Main Cross did not catch
, fire quickly and people left long before the cross burned out.
Several persons spoke to the crowd as "official Speakers M of
the Klan. They were: "Bud", Unit #12 acting Klaliff, Subject, Sex
in- Schools; John Paul Rogers, Sex in Schools; Ed Jones, Unit #12
EC, Niggers integrating the white school system; Fred Kuehner,
Manager Fiery Cross Magazine, Patriotism and the importance .of
law and order. Kelvin Sexton, Imnerlal Kligrapp, Helping the Law
and s to-oping Crime paused by the Mafia and. others. The response
from the crowd was less than enthusiastic.
The Rally, for all practical purposes, was over at IOjJOPK.
The Imperial Rep re sen at ives , Kuehoer and Sexton, along, with
Unit #6 Represenat Ives Abernathy and McBroom retired to the Reinada
Inn, where they were staying, and'had a few drinks together.
The EC of Unit #6 Hosted the Security Guards and their wives to
an Informal '. Cocktail party in Room 200 of the Holiday Inn (Kid town)
Orlando. The oarty was not disbanded until after 3:00AM.

Mr. Sexton spoke next, and told the members how dlsapolnted
he was in the poor turnout of various Fla. Kl an Units. One of the
members of Unit said that they did not receive word of the state
meeting until Friday Oct. 31, 1969. He further stated that they were
having a Fish Fry with two other Klans on that date. At that Point
Mr. Sexton interrupted him, arid asked him "Did any Imperial Represent-

J
Mr Sexton discussed the national Defense fund at length and
answered questions regarding when the fund would nay legal fees.
■
Mr, Sexton said that When Mr, Shelton gets out he will be very
tough. Mr. Shelton, he said, has changed some of his thinking and
will be a lot less tolerant, regarding loose and Bad mouth individuals.
He vent on to say, "if you men have any suspicion regarding any one
you had better say it on the floor, be prepared to nut it in writing,
and best be prepared to prove it or out of the order you go". "Every
time someone tries to move ahead and do good work there is always
some one trying to Knife him in the back, and that is not going to
happen any more."
After apologizing for rambling around vocally, Mr. Sexton '
spoke about the need to have State offices and bring all of Florida
together. He sold if more Units had appeared he would have had a
vote on the subject. Florida was growing, he said, and could now
support a State Grand Dragon and other Grand offices. Y/hen Mr.
Shelton comes back he will be able to spend a week at a time in Fla.
getting things organized. But, he Also said, Mr. Shelton is also
going to begin Organizing Klans in Virgin States. He predicts a
rise in Klan activity through-out the U.5. shortly .after Mr. Shelton
is Back.
On November 28, 1969 there will be a Reception and Banquet for
Mr. Shelton upon his return. This will be held at the Remada Inn
in Tuscaloosa Ala. and tickets and information are now being sent to
the Units.
After the State Meeting closed at One PM the members were
fed left, over chicken and Hot Dogs. Many members gathered together
in small groups 'and discussed various unit problems. SoiJte of the

COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
KLAN AND WRITE HATE GROUPS
RACIAL INTELLIGENCE
(KLAVERN 6, FT. LAUDERDALE,
FLORIDA)
Members of Klavern 6, UKA, Ft. Lauderdale,
have voted to build a new Klavern building at 2600 S.W.
2nd Avenue, Ft. Lauderdale, on a location owned by Klans-
man DAN ZBIN, upon the presentation of a good lease.
The terms of the lease are for five years with Klavern
6 paying Mrs. ZBIN $25.00 per month in consideration of the
lease. The building will be constructed by help from
Klavern members and donated materials, in;' 1 , accordance with
ZBIN's plans based on a building permit calling for a
storage building. The building reportedly will be ready
for occupancy early in December, 1969; however, no permit
has been issued by the city for occupancy or use of the
building as a meeting hall.
DAN ZBIN has been a hard core member of Klavern 6
since the inception of Klan activity in South Florida,
July, 1964. He currently holds the position of Klokan of
Klavern 6.
Miami believes the new Klavern building offers
potential counterintelligence action by (1) failure to obtain
proper permits to hold meetings in a structure that is not
being constructed for occupancy (fire code, etc.); and
(2) dissension, mistrust and suspicion between Klavern
members who are constructing a building on property owned
by DAN ZBIN, to ZBIN*s specifications and who stands to
benefit most from this building.
Miami requests Bureau authority to make appropriate
Inquiry through city and county building code authorities
to ascertain if rca^r permits have been obtained by Klavern 6i and

If the Klavern Is In violation of the building code, to
bring this to the attention of &XLT KELLY, managing editor
of the "Ft. Lauderdale News”, a close and trusted friend of
the Bureau, to publicly expose the violation. Mr. KELLY
and the "Ft. Lauderdale News” have been utilized on several
occasions in the past in exposing Klan activity in Broward
County, Florida. In April, 1969, the "Ft. Lauderdale News"
ran a series of two articles exposing Klan activity in
Broward County which resulted in successful counterintelligence
action.

IMPERIAL OFFICE
November is, 1969 . TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA
"Important Exalted Cyclops Conference ”
Mr. Shelton has requested that a National Meeting of all E.C.’s be held at 10 AM November 29th in the Ball-
room of the Ramada Inn, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. A program will be implemented by the Imperial Wizard that
will be vitally important to the future policies and growth of the United Klans. It is imperative that all E.C.’s
attend this meeting. ,
Esteemed Klansmen & Klansiadies: - :
Let me again urge all (Clansmen and patriots to attend the National Banquet and reception honoring Mr. Shelton
on November 28th at the Ramada Inn.
If you have not sent your money in for your pro-rated share of tickets, please do so at once. I have selected
a complete new wardrobe for Mr. Shelton since he can’t wear any of his old clothes that will be presented to him in
your name at the Banquet.
Klansmen of the Nationl Leaders of Americanism! Let’s make this event a day to be remembered, one that
our Imperial Wizard has well earned and deserves. • Let’s show him our support through numbers for his sacrifice
for all of us. Let’s show him that we support his wisdom and grace as a most successful leader and that we appreci-
ate what he has contributed to the success of the United Klans of America. We are depending on you.
‘ Shall we stand or shall we fall? The answer depends upon the “line officers” of the Klan; on the local leaders.
We Shall Stand, for they are of the blood and spirit that made America. There are no better leaders in the World.
Klansmen, I am at this moment leaving for Texarkana, Texas to await our leaders release, so we will be looking
forward to seeing all of you on November 28th at the Ramada Inn.
. Yours for God and Country,
Melvin Sexton, Imperial Kligrapp

Reurlet 11/26/69.
Information contained in relet has good potential
for counterintelligence possibilities; however, it appears
that rather than utilizing a press source to expose the use
of this building by the Klan in violation of municipal codes,
it may be more effective to advise municipal authorities of
the misuse of the building, thereby permitting them to take
appropriate measures to prevent the use of this building as
a meeting place by the Klan.
You are authorized to determine, through established
sources, if the building was constructed or is being utilized
in violation of municipal codes. If so, a trusted official
of the Ft. Lauderdale Police Department should be advised
of the violation. If this does not produce the desired
results, resubmit your request to furnish information to
trusted news sources. Advise Bureau of results.

RACIAL INTELLIGENCE
(IMPERIAL WIZARD ROBERT M. SHELTON)
MT. GENE STRUL, News Director, WCKT TV, Channel 7,
Miami, Fla., advised on 2/3/7Q that his station has been
contacted by SAM MC BROOM o£ Klavern 6, Ft. Laaderdale, Fla.,
concerning a forthcoming visit to this area by Imperial
Wizard ROBERT M. SHELTON. MC BROOM's inquiry was for the
purpose of having SHELTON considered for the Florida Forum
program. The Florida Forum is a half-hour panel-type program
in which 3 to 4 individuals interview people of prominence
who come to South Florida. The program is aired each week
on Sunday evening.
STRUL stated that the station would like to have
SHELTON appear on the program inasmuch as he has recently been
released from prison and in view of racial problems existing
throughout the country. He also stated that if the Bureau
would like to suggest topics or questions to be considered
by the interviewing panel, it would be greatly appreciated.

Mr. STRUL is a long and trusted friend of the
Bureau and several counterintelligence programs have been
handled through WCKT in recent years. It is felt that Miami
can submit to Mr. STRUL questions and topics to be considered
without embarrassment to the Bureau.
On 2/5/70,
’reaffirmed that Klavern 6 of
the UKA, Inc., Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., was making an effort to
have SHELTON appear on Miami television Florida Forum program
during the period of time SHELTON is in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
It is noted that SHELTON is scheduled to attend and deliver
the principal speech at a banquet honoring him to be held in
Pompano Beach, Fla., on 2/28/70, which is sponsored by Klavern 6.
Miami suggests the following topics or questions
for submission to Mr. STRUL:
' 1. Ramifications of the Rian's financial background,
including questions concerning the Klan defense fund.
2. The secretness of the Klan and its membership
and maybe if a K la ns man is truly a member of the Klan he
should be proud of this and stand up to be counted without
hiding, such as a member of the NOI would do.
3. The Klan's activities in Alabama concerning
land purchased by the NOI in that state.
l/ 4. Reason why he is in Miami, Florida, and if
there is an active klan in this area and, if so, who could
be contacted concerning this klan if a listener wanted to join.

Birmingham is requested to submit to the Bureau

On receipt of above questions from Birmingham ,
the Bureau is requested to authorize Miami to submit
to MT. STRUL the above questions submitted by Miami and
any other questions or topics submitted by Birmingham. If
the Bureau has any questions or topics they feel appropriate,
Miami would appreciate this information in order that the
most penetrating questions could be asked of SHELTON when he
appears on the program which will probably be aired early in
March.

Feb 6, 1970
Subject Officers meeting, Unit #6, UKA, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
including Regular meeting following.
Date: Feb 2, 1970
Just Prior to the Regular meeting schedualed for this night
an officers meeting was held with the following Officers Present
and the New Grand Dragon of Florida: John Paul Rogers,
James Penny EC, Dan Zbin, Lonnie Smith, Buck Mattern, Olen
Abernathy, Dick Brainard, Sam McBroom, Bill Phelps, Rev. Chandonnet
Gus Johnson, Gary Wycall.
'* **•.
The subject of the meeting was the advisiability of dividing
Unit #6 into two units. The discussion following covered pro and
con effects and possibilities. The majority of the members of
the meeting desired or thought that two units could work together.
The discussion soon shifted to that of dissention witin Unit //6.
John Paul Rogers wanted to get to the bottom of the problem and
asked for the facts concerning a recent allegation concerning
Charges planned or pending.
Phelps^ restated his complaint of recent concerning the lack of
confidence in the EC( Penny) and the charges of neglect of duty
in promoting KlanKraft. He also told of smelling Booze on Pennys
breath at the Rally. Rogers said the political charges did not
amount to anything but that he was concerned about the drinking
charge. Rogers Asked every member if he had actually smelled
drink on Pennys breath. Olen Abernathy stated that Penny had
taken him to the Bus Depot after the Rally and had been with him
at least 45 Minutes and he did not smell or notice anything wrong.
Rev Chandonnet, Phelps, Mattern, and Zbin said they thought they
did smell boose on pennys breath at the Rally. Rogers gave a
Stern Lecture on this petty backbiting and said in view of the
number of witnesses he would place Penny on 60 days probation
and this matter never had better leave the meeting room.
The officers proceeded to the meeting across the yard from Zbins
office and proceeded with the meeting. t ‘
At the meeting the subject of dividing the unit brought sharp
dissention from the members on the floor. Jess Taylor spoke
out aginst this move. Zbin apparantly thought the matter had
gotten out of hand and moved to table the matter for a two week
period to allow more members to think about the proposal;
John Paul Rogers said he was neither for or against the move DUt
that it v/as up to the members to decide.
No other Business was discussed and the meeting was closed at
10:30PM. '
The following members were among those present: Moye, Johnson,
Taylor, Wyatt, Free, Drummond, Chestnut, Hopka, Sims, Carlstedt,
Heflin, Wright, Williams.

Miami is re-submitting a proposal to utilize the
"Ft. Lauderdale News" to expose Klavern 6, Ft. Lauderdale ,
Fla., in utilizing a new Klan building in violation of
municipal codes. This proposal «as previously submitted
and it was suggested by the Bureau to advise municipal
authorities of the misuse of the building, thereby
permitting them to take appropriate measures to prevent
the use of the Klan building as a Klan meeting place.
The desired results were not realized through this measure
and for this reason it is being re-submitted to the Bureau.
III. TANGIBLE RESULTS
Possible violation of building code as well as
other possible violation of municipal codes were furnished
to the Ft. Lauderdale PD relative to the new meeting hall
of Klavern 6. Certain minor building and zoning deficiencies
were noted by building inspectors and DAN ZBIN, an active
Klan leader in Ft. Lauderdale Klavern 6, was ordered to
bring the building plans as well as the plot plans up to
date. Since no further action will be taken by the Dept.
' of Building and Zoning, Miami is re-submitting a request
to the Bureau to utilize the local press in Ft. Lauderdale
to gain additional tangible results re various code
violations.

Re Miami letter to the Bureau dated 11/26/69 and
Bureau letter to Miami dated 12/12/69.
In accordance with Bureau's instruction, Sgt. ROBERT
LUTES, Community Relations Unit, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,
Police Department, a trusted official of the Ft. Lauderdale
Police Department, advised on January 12, 1970, of the
possible building code violations as well as possible
violations of other municipal codes concerning the construc-
tion of the new meeting hall of Klavern 6, UKA, Inc., Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida. Sgt. UJTES later advised that he had
confidentially furnished this information to appropriate
authorities; namely, Mr. CALVIN B. HOWE, Director of the
Department of Building and Zoning, City of Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida, for action he deemed appropriate.
On February 5, 1970, Sgt. UJTES, Supra, advised
that he had determined from WILLIAM BENNETT, Department of
Building and Zoning, City of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, that
BENNETT and other representatives of the Building and Zoning
Department had inspected the property and buildings located
thereon of DAN ZBIN, 2600 S.W. 2nd Avenue, Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida, on Monday, February 2, 1970. It was determined that,
when the building which reportedly is utilized for meetings
HW 11637 Dodd: 59167712 Page 166
MM 157-1114
ZB1N that the key £or the building was not available. Upon
return to inspect the following day, there were no signs
present that this building was utilized as a meeting place.
According to LUTES, certain minor building and
zoning deficiencies were noted and ZBIN has been ordered to
bring his building plans as well as plot planB up to date.
It was determined that a permit had been Issued for the
construction of the building to be utilized for storage;
however, no permit had been issued for the addition thereto
and through this department ZBIN will be ordered to and
expected to rectify the minor deficiencies.
LUTES stated that it appears that no further
action will be taken by the Department of Building and
Zoning subsequent to the rectification of deficiencies by
ZBIN regarding his property and edifices contained thereon.
It is not believed that the desired results have
been obtained through the furnishing of possible violations
of the building code to appropriate authorities.
Miami requests authority to contact MILT KELLY,
Managing editor of "The Ft. Lauderdale News", a close and
trusted friend of the Bureau, to consider the possible \
exposure of building code violations by Klavern 6 of the Ft.
Lauderdale UKA. It is noted that the construction permit
issued for the building was for storage and not for the
purpose of holding meetings in this building. Mr. KELLY
has been utilized several times by the Miami Office in
exposing Klan activity in Broward County and it is believed
additional results can be obtained through exposure of the
Klan in "The Ft. Lauderdale News".

RE: UNITED KLANS OF AMERICA, INC.
DR. TOM WOOD, Professor, In Charge of
Government, University of Miami
JACK ROBERTS, Columnist for the "Miami News"
During this half-hour presentation SHELTON
covered the following items in response to questions put
to him by the panel:
He attempted to point out that the terra Ku
Klux Klan was a term belonging to the public and that
he was the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of
America, which has only been in existence since 1961.
He admitted that he was a full-time employee of the UKA
but would not specifically state his salary other than
he was sure that it was less than the salary of many of
the Federal snoops. He stated that he holds his position
of Imperial Wizard for a period of three years which is
an elected position. He pointed out that his Klan was
against violence of any type and that should any member
of the Klan fail to abide by its constitution, these
individuals would be dealt with severely and upon
further elaboration SHELTON stated that this meant they
would be expelled from the organization.
SHELTON did not elaborate upon whether or not
while he was in prison in 1969 internal conflicts developed
between Imperial officers within hijS organization. He
pointed out that he had just served time in prison for
refusing to name or identify Klan membership or the handling
of the money that the Klan obtains from its members. When
asked if the number of members in the State of Florida is
about 200 according to Grand Dragon of the State of
Florida, JOHN PAUL ROGERS, SHELTON refused to make any
comment on this number other than he was sure it was much
more than 200.
He stated that he felt the integration of the
schools was destroying the public school system and
mentioned that the Washington officials who are pushing
this integration send their own children to all white

RE: UNITED KLANS OF AMERICA, INC
public or all white private schools in McLean, Virginia.
It was his opinion that the law enforcement agencies are
being shackled and handcuffed today in fulfilling - their
legal duties.
He mentioned an article that appeared in a Los
Angeles newspaper where the FBI had conspired with a Jewish
organization and between the two paid $76,000 to individuals
who would set up a bombing incident in Meridian, Mississippi
which end result would be the arrest or killing of the
individuals responsible for the bombings in Meridian,
Mississippi. As a result of this it was his feeling that
the Justice Department should conduct an investigation into
the conspiracy and entrapment perpetrated by the FBI and
this Jewish organization.
SHELTON was questioned about the Klan's activities
in Alabama concerning the leasing and purchasing of land
surrounding land that has been purchased or leased by the
members of the Nation of Islam. SHELTON was asked whether
or not the Klan’s action in Alabama is an effort to confront
the Nation of Islam and perhaps to push the Muslims out
of Alabama. SHELTON replied that maybe it was the "niggers"
who came to Alabama and obtained this land who were
actually forcing the confrontation.
A characterization of the Nation of
Islam appears in the Appendix section of this
memorandum.
He also stated that if the Klan was able to get
enough land that perhaps it could be placed in a Federal
Land Bank and could be subsidized by money from the Federal
Government such as other organizations have done and are
doing.
One copy of this memorandum is being furnished to
the U. S. Secret Service, U. S. Attorney, and 111th M.I,
Group, all Miami, Florida, and to 111th M.I. Group, Orlando,
Florida, and NISO, Charleston, South Carolina.

NATION. OF ISLAM
A source advised on January 12, 1970, the Nation
of Islam (NOI), an orgauization for members of tne black
race only, had its origin in Detroit, Miculgan, in the early
193u’s. Headquarters is Muhammad ' s Temple Number 2, 533o
South Greenwood Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, which affords
direction to numerous affiliate branches, commonly referred
to as Muhammad's Temples or Mosques, located throughout the
United States. The leader is Elijah Muhammad, self-styled
"Messenger of Allah" anu tne only divinely appointed leader
of the black race in the United States, who controls all
policies and programs.
)
Muhammad's teachings stress Allah (God) selected
him to lead the so-called Negro out of slavery in North
America through establishment of an independent black nation
in the United States; the white man is the "devil" and open
enemy of the black man; black and white races must be
separated; the white man, his Government and religion win
ue destroyed by Allah through the forces of nature in tue
"War of Armageddon," a war between Allah and the "devil."
Muhammad's teachings are spread through weekly radio broad-
casts throughout the United States and through "Muhammad
Speaks," the official NOI organ which is publisnid weekly
in Chicago and distributed to affiliate Mosques for use in
weekly sermons and for distribution to the public.
Muhammad and other NOI members have re fused to
comply with Selective Service Laws stating that they respect
laws of the United States provided they do not conflict with
NOI iaws. They do not believe the Government should force
them to participate in wars when they have nothing to gain.

UNITED KLANS OF AMERICA, INCORPORATED
KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN (UKA)
Records of Superior Court of Fulton County,
Georgia, show that this Klan organization was granted a
corporate charter on February 21, 1961, at Atlanta,
Georgia, under the name United Klans, Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan of America, Incorporated.
A source advised on February 27, 1961, that
United Klans was formed as a result of a split in United
States Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Incorporated.
According to the source, the split resulted from a leader-

of Americanism, white supremacy and segregation of the
races .
The first source and a second source advised
in July, 1961, that United Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan of America, Incorporated, merged with Alabama Knights,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The merged organiz.it ion
established headquarters in Suite 401, Alston Building,
Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (The organization is directed by
Robert M. Shelton, Imperial Vizard, and is the dominant
Klan group in the South, with units in several southern
states . )
Second source advised that at a meeting in
Prattville, Alabama, on October 22, 1961, the United States
Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, merged with the United
Klans of America, Incorporated, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Third source advised on May 7, 1969, that the UKA
is currently an active organization with Klaverns in several
states. This source said that Robert M. Shelton is the •
Imperial Wizard of this organization and was elected to this
position on September 3, 1967, at a "National Klonvocation"
in Tuscaloosa. Alabama. Source stated that during April,
1966, the National Office was moved from Suite 401, Alston
Building, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to the carport of Shelton's
residence, #18 Lake Sherwood, Star Route, Northport , Alabama,
which space he had converted into a room.

Per Bureau authority in re letter, 2/24/70,
Mr. GENE STRUL, WCKT TV, Channel 7* Miami, Fla., was
afforded questions and topics concerning SHELTON’s
appearance on "Florida Forum". STRUL was cautioned that
under no circumstances should he divulge to any individuals
on the panel interviewing SHELTON that any of these items
have been suggested by the FBI.
The newspaper item enclosed for the Bureau,
written by JACK ROBERTS, is demonstrative of the favorable
publicity that was hopefully anticipated as a result of
this television program. This article is quite derogatory
toward the Klan and toward SHELTON.
The enclosed audiotape was taped directly from
the television set when the "Florida Forum" was aired on
3/8/70., from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m., and not when it was taped
at Channel 7 on Friday, 2/27/70. This audiotape was taped
by Special Agents PATRICK E. FARRELL and THOMAS H. STOY
within the Miami Office on 3/8/70.

pertinent Information concerning building code

As of the presat time, no decision has been made by
KELLY regarding any forthcoming articles concerning
this matter.
III. TANGIBLE RESULTS
Based on Bureau authority (see Bureau letter
2/24/70) GENE STRUL, WCKT TV, Channel 7, Miami,
Fla., was afforded questions and topics for possible
use in ROBERT SHELTON *s appearance on the "Florida
Forum". The one half hour TV program was aired
in Miami on 3/8/70 and SHELTON was questioned by
a panel of 4 individuals including JACK ROBERTS, a
columnist for the "Miami News". A number of the
questions submitted to GENE STRUL by the Miami Office
were utilized during the interview of SHELTON.
Following the program JACK ROBERTS, in his newspaper
column, set forth unfavorable publicity concerning
SHELTON and the Klan and was generally of a derogatory
nature. A program of this type is difficult to assess
as to its overall effect it may have on the South
Florida area; however, the pub&city from the TV
program and the newspaper indicated desirable results
were obtained.

Chain .of events leaAAup to resignation of
kelson Williams} Hewers of Klan Unit £’108.
handonnet
and
1 . At a i3 eat in^ held late -in Aphil between John Paul ..Rogers., James' -
Penny, Jess Taylor, and 3am KcBroom. it"* was disclosed that several
members of the Klan had extensive oolice . records as reported to
Jess Taylor and 3am KcBroom by members of the F3I. At. that meeting
the decision was made to gather and verify the. evidence presented
and if true make a decision to suspend those in question.
In the orocess of investigation Sam KcBroom was able to. nroduce a
copy of the n Rap" Sheets .on David Paul , Kelson Williams , and Jack
Dekonlng, and gave a hand written copy to James Fenny.
On Thursday April 30, 1970 James Penny showed the papers to Dan Zbin
and told, him to get rid of Kelson Williams, per the understanding
that he had with the Grand Dragon. ■ At that time Zbin was not told
of "the official charges concerning the Rev. Chandonnet.
2. At. the Ladies Aux meeting of A^rll 29, 1970 the Ladies EC was
embarrassed to such an extent concerning missing funds, that she
left the meeting in a huff saying she resigned. Bill Phelps was
soon made aware of the action by Krs chandonnet and became suspicious
of the actions of the Rev. Chandonnet.
3.; On Thursday April 30’, after Dan- Zbin was notified that a meeting
scheduled for 7:00PM by the EC, Jame3 penny, was cancelled (A private
meeting) due to his inability to attend at that time, Z’oin called
his own private officers meeting. At the call for the meeting he
also requested the 3ec*y have the SC attend knowing that he would.be
unable to do so. He asked Bill Phelps and' Kelson Williams to attend

job of keeping down dissent 5. on and that Carlstedt should keep quite
until the officers find the facts.

by telling of the problems the Unit was going to be in if ho had not
taken action. The EC made the Sec'y Read a breakdown cf the charges.
The members did not like the costs but voted to. pay the bill.

, . Davie police, who filed the
charges with the county solici-

The investigation was con-
ducted by Police Chief Rich-
ard Nickel, Lt. Jim Georges

than $2,000.
According to Chief Nickel,
the forged checks were cashed
over a five-month period and
primarily involved- food store
chains. He said other arrests
were expected in the case.
The checks involved in the
charges were drawn on the
People’s Missionary Church
account, which was set up to
require two signatures „ on

the (/necks were “The
J. Chandonnet 1
lam Phelps,” a mi
of
church-owned dujrfc5f= in - /ti <

porting to be signed by
i William Phelps, but .whose

Re Miami teletype to Bureau, 5/15/70, and Butel
to Miami, 5/18/70.
Enclosed for the Bureau are two Xerox copies each of
two newspaper articles that appeared In the "Ft. Lauderdale
News", Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., a daily newspaper, on 5/27/70 and
6/1/70, respectively.
For Information of the Bureau, investigation regarding
ARMAND JAMES CHANDONNET, Miami file 157-3205, determined that
past employments ,. education and other background Information
furnished by CHANDONNET in his application to become the Reverend
of the Peoples Mis s ionary Church in Davie, Fla., were all false.
Consequently, it was evident that CHANDONNET was a "con man" and
probably involved in self-serving purposes in his relationship
with both the Rian and his church.
CHANDONNET had joined Rlavern #6 on 10/29/69, and
attained the position of Rludd therein. In addition, at a

On 2/25/70, Reverend TILLMAN HABEGGER, Vice President,
Missionary Church Association, 3901 S. Wayne, Ft. Wayne, Ind.,
was contacted by the FBI regarding CHANDONNET, and was cooperative
and expressed complete surprise of CHANDONNET's association with the
Klan. Subsequently, HABEGGER came to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., to
investigate alleged misconduct of CHANDONNET. He determined that
CHANDONNET had forged checks and misappropriated church funds in
excess of $2,000 and the congregation desired he be arrested and
prosecuted. After having attained a State position in the UKA,
CHANDONNET was instrumental in establishing a second Rlavern in
Broward County, which ultimately was chartered as Rlavern #108.
Per referenced Bureau teletype, information concerning CHANDONNET's
background and his forthcoming prosecution for checks was given to
MILT KELLY of the "Ft. Lauderdale News", which resulted in the
exposing of CHANDONNET by the local Ft. Lauderdale newspaper as
evidenced by the enclosed articles .
As a result of this CIP program, the following positive
reactions have transpired:
FOIA(b) (7) - (D)
WILLIAM PHELPS, the Exaulted Cyclops of Rlavern #108
and the main person responsible for the prosecution of CHANDONNET,
has decided to resign his position and return to North Carolina.
At least four persons have resigned from Rlavern #108, including
CHANDONNET, who has also resigned as of 5/17/70, from his position
as Grand Rludd. Prior to his departure, PHELPS will bring
charges against DAN ZBIN, member of Rlavern #6, and the Grand
Rlokard for the State of Florida of the UKfl. The aforementioned
informants have advised that the Grand Dragon of the State of
Florida came to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on 5/31/70, to help

resolve differences between the two Klans as a result of the
article concerning CHANDONNET. At that time, 15 charges were
brought against ZBIN who was temporarily suspended from Klavern #6.
At the present tine , Klavern #108 has four members and
both sources advised that within the next two weeks. It will be
completely disbanded and brought back to Klavern #6.
Through effective utilization of sources and the local
newspaper, with C1P goals in mind, the method described above was
completely effective end accomplished its goal, that is to
eliminate Klavern #108, and to cause dissention within the Klan.

May 13, 1970
Tusaaloosa, Ala.
On: MAY— 12, 1970 the IMPERIAL PRESS printed (250)
copies of the APRIL 15, 1970 NEWSLETTER, which was nothing
more than a "pitch" for the National Klonvokation, and the
telling og why SHELTON didn't make it to the NORTH CAROLINA
RALLIES which were held approximately two weeks ago at the
area where the JULY 4, I 969 "Shootout" occurred. SHELTON was
quick in labling "The Arkansas case" as a Justice Department
plan to disrupt UKA in their Crusade efforts. SHELTON said
in the letter that the UKA is lowing signs of growth and are
receiving letters and calls from leaders (realm) for new
charters in practically every realm.
FOIA(b) (7)
SHELTON Ts"
|at the press that
’badmouthing" him (sexton) and
everybody, and building himself ( Shelton) up when they are
out at rallies and such. SEXTON said one of the things he
says about SEXTON is the "Financial Shape" SEXTON has gotten
the office "in" while he ( Shelton) was away at prison. SEXTON
said he didn't understand it. SEXTON said he is telling klans-
people "what bad shape" the Imperial Office is in, and about
to "go out of business". SHELTON himself has been heard at the
press complaining about financial matters.
Nothing has been heard about the monies &hat SHELTON
was suppose to "pick up" from the"V/allace People"last week in
the sum of $12,000.00. '
I FoiAib) (7) - p) J if the money was gotten,
but SEXTON hesitated to expand on the matter, except that SHEL-
TON didn't tell the "story" just right as he (sexton) knew of it.
• On MAY 13, 1970 the press also printed (15,000) flyers
ordered by DAN ZBIN of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. ZBIN ordered the
flyers over the telephone -in a call to KUEHNER direct.
The job was done and priced by KUEHNER who told SHELTON of it
after they were printed. The fibers tie in with a program that
a "supposively" non-klansman is promoting in the Florida area,
to get parents to "keep their children out of school on May 18
(1970) "as a form of "protest" against the bussing and integrat-
ion of students. The flyers which cost $150.00 are lucky to be
received before SATURDAY May 16 (1970) for they were shipped by
UNITED PARCEL which takes three to four day to get to FT. LND-
ERDALE.
. The press also printed (1000) letterheads for the UNIT
6-Ft. Lauderdale unit (Florida) which were ordered by S.R. Me
BROOM over a month ago, but because of the political work was
delayed. . : - '
Unit 6 is having problems according to ZBIN who said
the EC of the newly formed second unit in that city (Ft. Lauder-
dale) William PHELPS

fi.t was later found out that CHANNDONET, the
pastor of a small church in Y/EST FT. LAUDERDAEE, FLA. also-
was misappropiating funds in the church. It was heard that
the church's Bishop from Indiana is in town and CHANNDONET

by calling on S. R. McBROOM telling him that FIVE members of
unit 6 were members "with records", and that CHANNDONET was
a "con-man". *
A new political project is "in the making" at the
Imperial Press. SHELTON is having KUEHNER design a bumper
sticker (approximately 2" x 4") showing a branding iron
with the letters "B-B" (and a caption saying B ( brewer) -B( black)
or simular) , and possibly on the other end a "VMV" standing
for WALLACE and Y/HITE. SHELTON is anxious to get the stickers
out to the public'but the "finishing-up" of the MAY ISSUE of
the FIERY CROSS has delayed all printing with the exception
of the NEY/SLETTER which was twoo weeks in getting out, and the
urgency of the FT. Lauderdale Flyers.
The MAY ISSUE of the FC carried a picture on the cover
of MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. and most of the inside of the
issue was devoted to^^/KING . SHELTON told KUEHNER to "shoot-
direct" from a Ft. Lauderdale Magazine ( formerly-Insight Bro-
ward) mow called POINT BLANK published by JIM C0F5ELL) but
KUEHNER refused and came up with a KING expose bn his own,
and using a book entitled" COMMUNIST REVOLUTION IN THE
STREETS by GARY ALLEN, (and the editors of WESTERN ISLANDS).
SHELTON was heard saying that the smear-sheet against
SHIRLEY SATERFIELD (in the ST. Clair County area (alabama) was
not used but a small committee took them to SATERFIELD showing
what was going to "hit the streets" if he didn't back Y/ALLACE.
The man according to SHELTON accepted the blackmail threat and
as SHELTON put it, "Got off his tail and worked for Y/ALLACE".

A former Davie preacher
and alleged state chaplain of
the United Klans of America
(UKA) will be tried Oct. 6
before Court of Record Judge
Nels R. Pearson on charges of
cashing forged checks.
Armand James Chandonnet,
40, was charged May 28 by
County Solicitor James Geiger
with three counts of cashing
forged checks.
Chandonnet, accompanied
by his attorney, turned him-
, self in to the Broward sheriffs
office May 29 after an account
of the charges against him
was published in The News.
He v/as released on bonds
totaling $4,500, pleaded inno-
. cent in an unscheduled ar-
raignment before Court of
Record Judge J ernes M. Rees-
beck and was granted a jury
trial.
According to the charges,
Chandonnet is accused of
cashing forged checks in the
amounts of $153.79, $99, and
$25 with three Broward Coun-
ty businesses.
The checks all were written
on the account of the Davie
church. Davie police, who,
filed the charges with the
county solicitor, said more
than 60 checks were involved
during an intensive three-
week investigation.
Chandonnet reportedly was
Kludd (chaplain) of UKA
Klavern 6 and v/as elected
Orlando.
He was pastor .of the Peo-
ple’s Missionary Church in
Davie for six months until his
resignation May 10. His re-
placement has not yet been
named.
Davie police said Chandon-
net’s diploma from the “Faith
Bible College & Seminary”
apparently was a forgery.
In his application to Mis-
sionary Church headquarters
in Fort Wayne, Ind., he listed
studies at the University of
Maryland, Grace Div.'nity
School, Northern Baptist Col-
lege, and the Harding Gradu-
ate School, although police
none of the j
schools had a record of his ;
enrollment. •

Subject: Special Meeting Unit 6 and 108, UKA, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Date: Sunday May 31, 1970 ' r . •
At. 1 :PM -The members of the above Units and the Grand Dragon met
at the Klavern on Zbins property.
The Grand Dragon said he had an unpleasent task, that of reading
15 charges against Dan Zbin, brought by Buck Mattern. Mattern was
not present and the meeting degenerated into various parties calling
names and in general abusing the committee that had been set up
to counter these types of events.
The Grand Dragon appointed Dale Sawden a special represenative of
the State Office to take charge of resolving the charges and holding
an election in 108 if it didn't fold or if he didn't revoke the
charter.
The committ is to meet on Monday night, June 1, and audit the books
of 108 prior to Phelps departing to N.C., then they are to start
holding hearings on the charges prior to reccomendlng to the Grand
Dragon wheather or not to hold a trial based on their findings.
They have to interview various Klansmen in order to arrive at the
facts .
Dale asked if he could appoint one other member to the committee
since Z’oin is automatically off the committee pending the outcome
of the charges. Edwin Harblson was appointed( 108 member)
The Grand: Dragon said he would suspend Zbin if the Committee reccomended
a Trial of any kind concerning Zbin. * .
Zbin turned in his KLAN card to McBroom.
,The article in the newspaper of May 27th. also caused some consternation
| and the Grand Dragon thinks ^helps had something to do with it, it
was felt that the article caused more harm to the Klan than good.
Those attending were: Sam McBroom, Olen Abernathy, Bill Phelps,
Carl Chestnutt, Dick George, Dan Zbin, John Paul Rogers, Dale
Sawden, ED Harblson;
The meeting ended at 2:30PM with Unit 108 members paying the expenses
of the Grand Dragon since Bill Phelps called Rogers down.
#
Phelps did say at the end of the meeting that he had sent a copy of
the Charges to Mr. Shelton. This Statement made John Paul Rogers
obviously mad, he told Phelps that he should not have done so singe
it made it look like he didn't trust the Grand Dragon.

Checks , Lead
ft® ^vrest Of ^Minister'
By JIM'UUUSK ;[
(Staff Writer)
A self-styled Davie preacher
and alleged state chaplain of
the United Klans of America
was 'charged in Broward
County Court of Record today
with three counts of cashing
forged checks.
Named in the charges was
Armand James (Jim) Chan-
donnet, 40, who for six months
had been pastor of the Peo-
ple’s Missionary Church in
Davie until his resignation
May 10.
According to. the charges.
Chandonnet cashed forged,
check's in the amounts of,
$153.19, $99 and $25 with three
Broward County businesses. j
Davie police, who filed the
charges with the county solici-
tor's office today, said more
than 60 checks were involved
during an intensive three-
week investigation.
The investigation was con-
ducted by Police Chief Rich-
ard Nickel, Lt. Jim Georges
and Detective Sgt. Peter El-
more and was joined in the
latter stages by investigators
of the county solicitor’s office.
Chandonnet originally was
arrested on forgery charges
by Dalie police May 15 and
was peld three days in
Browafd County Jail until
charge's were dropped '?y the
county solicitor's office for
lack of sufficient evidence.
Davie police continued the^ir
Investigation and turned jp
dozens of checks which at one
point, they said totaled more
than $2,000. 1
According to Chief Nickel,
the forged checks were cashed
over a five-month period and
primarily involved food store
chains. He said other arrests
were expected in the case.
The checks involved in the
charges were drawn on the
People’s Missionary Church
account, which was set up to
require two signatures ( on
each check. Authorized to sign
the checks were “The Rev.
Arihabd J. Chandonnet” ( >and
“William Phelps,” a member
ol ( the church board ol trus-
tees. 4
According to the charges,
the checks were cashed “pur-
porting to be signed by
William Phelps, but whose
signature was forged by the
defendant with intent to de-
fraud ...”
Chandonnet, who produced a
minister’s certificate from the
“Faith Bible College & Theo-
logical Seminary,” had been
pastor of the new Dcvic
church siiice it began services
Dec. 7, J969. He received no
salary, bit was given free liv-
ing quarters for his family in
a church-owned duplex ne»t
dotfn
Davie police said the Bible
seminary certificate apparent-
ly was a forgery. It carried a
seal purporting to be located
in Ft. Lauderdale, but no such
seminary was found during
the investigation.
A. teacher’s certificate from
the same “seminary” was is-
sued to Chandonnet’s wife,
Rhonda, the police said.
Meanwhile, police sources
.■said Chandonnet was elected
Grand Kludd (chaplain) of the
United Klans of America in
Florida Jan. 25 during a meet-
ing in Orlando. "Grand” des-
ignates a state office in the
UKA.
The UKA, headquartered
in Tuscaloosa, Ala., is headed
by “Imperial Wizard” Robert
Shelton, and is listed by the
Department of Justice as a
subversive organization.
Chandonnet reportedly was
Kludd cf Klavem (chapter)
Six in ttie Davie area, the po-
" i . • I -’
hce sources said. TheKlavern
recently split and a splinter
group, headed by a former
North Carolina man who is a
member of Chandonnet’s
church, is in early organiza-
tional stages.
Earlier this year, Chandon-
net reportedly was working
with other klansmen in con-
nection with the establishment
of an all-white “Christian
school’ for the Davie area
the sources said.
The sources said Chandon-
net first applied to the Mis-
sionary Church headquarters
m Fort; Wayne, Ind., [ or j a
pastorate in Broward Comity
« December, 1968.

In>his application, Chandon-
net feaid ho had attendee th« —
Northern Baptist College,
Grade Divinity Scpool,
Harding Graduate School' and
the University of Maryland.
Police sources said none of
the schools listed him in their
records.
e handonnet also listed prior
torates in churches in "Jhe
wjist and middle west, 'he
sewrees added, although none
of them was confirmed. He
also had claimed to have been
pastor of a“Grace Christian
Church” in Ft. Lauderdale— a
non-existent church.
Earlier this year, Chandon-
net was a housewares sales-
man for a Pompano Beach
department store, but resig-
ned two months ago after a
brief period of employment.
. Police sources said Chan-
donnet was first arrested May
29, 1953, in Gretna, La., on
charges of forgery and issuing
worthless checks.
In 1959, while working as a
private detective in Amarillo,
Tex., Chandonnet forfeited
$300 bond after being released
from custody on charges of
vagrancy and investigation for
being drunk.
According to the Manches-
ter, N.H., credit bureau,
Chandonnet filed bankruptcy
in 1968. In 1918, he was given
two 1 years’ probation oi a
charge of being a “delinquent
child” by the Manchester ju-
venile court.

In the meeting BOLDEN called off the
formalities, and indicated that they would just sit
around and talk klan business that night. He said
that Unit 31 was not going to have any "tribunals" and
that if a man deserved expulsion from the klan, he, BOLDEN,
would handle it himself. He stated that he had already
pulled the membership cards of CARL HOOD and PRINCE
RICHARDSON for activity unbecoming to a klansman, and
that he would pull more cards if the need arose.
BOLDEN stated that the Lake Wales Unit was
going to be around a long time and that they were going
to be in a position of leadership insofar as the XJXA
is concerned. He said that he would control the klan
as he saw fit, and that anyone disagreeing with him,
could make a complaint to the Grand Dragon, who would
see that he was brought up on charges before a National
Tribunal. He said that he was the only person in the
LakeWales Klavern who would be brought to trial, and that
insofar as the rest of the members were concerned,
he would accept them or disapprove them fcr membership
as he saw fit,
BOLDEN furthermore stated that there would
be no more violence within the klan, that they would
continue to grow to become a political force, and
that the days of fighting people were over. He said
that if they had serae disagreement with school authorities,
or anyone else, they would go to them like gentlemen and
present their grievances.
After the meeting a number of the members went
up to BOLDEN and stated that this was the best meeting
that they had attended i» some time, and that if all the
units were run like this, a lot more would be accomplished.

On May 27, 1970, JOHN PAUL ROGERS, Grand
Dr agon, UKA Realm of Florida, was called to
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to investigate charges brought
by a man named MOIRE (phonetic^, a member of the Davie,
Florida Klavern. MOIRE was recently fired from the
employ of ZBIN and apparently is attempting retaliation.
He has placed fifteen charges, among which are charges
relating to ZBIN'S friendship with Rev. CHANDONETTE
(phonetic). ZBIN allegedly has worked out a deal in
order that CHANDONETTE might make restitution for money recently
taken from his church, by making weekly payments.
ROGERS appointed a committee to work out the
details concerning the trial of ZBIN, and also contacted
ZBIN to advise him of his action. He said that if the
charges proved true, he would be forced to pull ZBIN’S card,
to which ZBIN replied that he understood.
